Management of displaced ankle fractures.
BACKGROUND Ankle fractures excluding pilon fractures, account for approximately 9% of all fractures with the majority being OTA type B injuries. Although surgeons generally treat undisplaced or minimally displaced injuries nonoperatively and displaced fractures operatively, opinions diverge regarding the management of those displaced fractures with acceptable closed reduction. There is also deb...
متن کاملImmediate unprotected weight-bearing of operatively treated ankle fractures.
The objective of this study was to determine whether immediate mobilisation and unprotected weight-bearing of rigidly internally fixed fractured ankles had a significant effect on ankle function or whether it predisposed the ankle to loss of reduction or hardware failure. Twenty five patients with operated Weber A/B/C fractures were allowed immediate full weight-bearing without a plaster and we...
متن کاملThe treatment of displaced fractures at the ankle by rigid internal fixation and early joint movement.
The purpose of this study is to show that accurate reduction and firm fixation of fractures involving the ankle followed by joint exercises within a few days of operation leads to rapid return of function with consistently good results. Method of treatment-The injuries in this series were treated by open reduction and internal fixation of one or more fractures in order to stabilise the ankle su...
متن کاملImmediate Weight-Bearing after Ankle Fracture Fixation
We believe that a certain subset of surgical ankle fracture patients can be made weight-bearing as tolerated immediately following surgery. Immediate weight-bearing as tolerated (IWBAT) allows patients to return to ambulation and activities of daily living faster and may facilitate rehabilitation. A prospectively gathered orthopaedic trauma database at a Level 1 trauma center was reviewed retro...
متن کاملWeight bearing or non-weight bearing after surgically fixed ankle fractures, the WOW! Study: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
BACKGROUND The optimal post-operative care regimen after surgically fixed Lauge Hansen supination exorotation injuries remains to be established. This study compares whether unprotected weight bearing as tolerated is superior to protected weight bearing and unprotected non-weight bearing in terms of functional outcome and safety. METHODS/DESIGN The WOW! Study is a prospective multicenter clin...
