Early weight bearing of malleolar fractures

Early weight bearing of malleolar fractures

A prospective randomized investigation of early versus late weight bearing in 46 patients with fracture of the lateral malleolus was performed. In 43/46 patients an exact operative reconstruction of the ankle mortise could be achieved using pins, staples and cerclage (Cedell, 1967). Radiographic and...

Zusammenfassung:A prospective randomized investigation of early versus late weight bearing in 46 patients with fracture of the lateral malleolus was performed. In 43/46 patients an exact operative reconstruction of the ankle mortise could be achieved using pins, staples and cerclage (Cedell, 1967). Radiographic and stereophotogrammetric analysis of the ankles after 3 months showed no significant differences, nor did the clinical follow-up.
