Weight 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...
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 کاملSherrington et al: A randomised trial of weight-bearing versus non-weight-bearing exercise after hip fracture A randomised trial of weight-bearing versus non-weight-bearing exercise for improving physical ability in inpatients after hip fracture
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...
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 کاملWeight-Bearing in the Nonoperative Treatment of Acute Achilles Tendon Ruptures: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
BACKGROUND The rate of Achilles tendon ruptures is increasing, but there is a lack of consensus on treatment of acute injuries. The purpose of this trial was to compare outcomes of weight-bearing casts with those of traditional casts in the treatment of acute Achilles tendon ruptures. METHODS Eighty-four patients with an acute Achilles tendon rupture were recruited over a two-year period. Pat...
