Bed rest with elevation of the affected limb is commonly prescribed postoperatively following ankle fracture fixation although there is no evidence that this is necessary.The aim of this prospective, randomised study was to investigate the effects of early mobilisation following surgical fixation of an ankle fracture on wound healing and length of stay (LOS).A total of 104 patients underwent primary...
A fracture stiffness of 15 Nm/degree measured biomechanically has been proposed as a reliable indicator of early fracture union. This study used a fracture model to examine the ability of orthopaedic surgeons to assess the stiffness of a fracture manually. Twenty orthopaedic surgeons were tested along with 20 controls. They each estimated the stiffness of seven rods representing mid-shaft diaphyseal...
