Immediate 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 کاملFunctional Comparison of Immediate and Late Weight Bearing after Ankle Bimalleolar Fracture Surgery
AIM The aim of the study is to compare immediate weight bearing with below-knee cast or immobilization with plaster splint in 6 weeks in patients after operative treatment for ankle bimalleolar fractures. METHODS Fifty-three patients with ankle bimalleolar fractures were treated operatively in 2005 to 2010 and then were randomly allocated to two groups. Immediately weight bearing in a below-k...
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...

Hip fractures are an important public health issue. By the age of 90, 32% of women and 17% of men have suffered a hip fracture (Gallagher et al 1980). By the year 2050 there will be about 2.3 million annual hip fractures globally (Gullberg et al 1997). Unfortunately, outcomes after hip fracture are often poor (Marottoli et al 1992). If more effective rehabilitation strategies could be developed...
