Postoperative treatment of internally fixed ankle fractures: a prospective randomised study.
In a prospective, randomised trial of 81 patients with fractures of the ankle of AO types A, B and C we compared two regimes of postoperative management after internal fixation. The patients were mobilised either non-weight-bearing with crutches or weight-bearing in a below-knee walking plaster. We found a temporary benefit in subjective evaluation only (65 v 50 points, Mann-Whitney test, cft, ...
متن کاملReliability of Postoperative Radiographies in Ankle Fractures
Background: The accuracy of reduction of ankle fractures using postoperative plain radiographies (x-ray) remainswidely controversial. Some authors have demonstrated that postoperative computed tomography (CT) scan can beuseful for these patients. In current study, the efficacy of x-rays after fixation of ankle fractures was investigated basedon the CT scan findings.Metho...
متن کاملTreatment Of The Ankle Fractures
s: Background: Ankle fractures were known since the time of Hippocrates and the mode of treatment of fractures around ankle is changing since then. Best results are obtained by anatomical restoration of joint space either by closed reduction & immobilization in the cast or by open reduction & internal fixation.. A clear rationale does not exist for both types of treatment. Objective is to study...
متن کاملEarly mobilization of operatively fixed ankle fractures: a systematic review.
BACKGROUND It is commonly believed that early motion after joint fixation is advantageous, especially in the upper limb. In the ankle joint this is much less clear. No previous systematic review of the evidence for this could be found in the literature. MATERIALS AND METHODS Nine randomized control trials were identified which met the inclusion criteria and compared early motion of the ankle ...
متن کاملThe treatment of unstable ankle fractures.
In Portsmouth early open reduction and secure internal fixation is the treatment of choice for unstable ankle fractures. It ensures accurate reduction and rigid fixation, and eliminates the need for plaster. This permits better treatment of the soft tissues immediately after operation. With early mobilisation a quick functional recovery is achieved. We consider that this fixation is best achiev...
