Objective: The study aims to understand healthcare professionals' (HCPs) beliefs and practices in the treatment and rehabilitation of patients after ankle fracture surgery, with the goal of informing new rehabilitation interventions based on these insights.
Background: There is considerable variation in postoperative rehabilitation advice given to patients with ankle fractures, leading to inconsistent care. Prior studies have primarily focused on patients' experiences, making it crucial to explore HCPs' perspectives to identify areas for intervention.
Ankle fractures are common injuries that can significantly impact mobility and quality of life. Rehabilitation following ankle fracture treatment is crucial for recovery, yet adherence to regimens remains a challenge. Behaviour Change Techniques (BCTs) have been suggested to improve adherence, but their effectiveness in ankle fracture rehabilitation is not well established.

T follicular helper (Tfh) and regulatory (Tfr) cells are terminally differentiated cells found in germinal centers (GCs), specialized secondary lymphoid organ structures dedicated to antibody production. As such, follicular T (Tfol) cells are supposed to be specific for immunizing antigens, which has been reported for Tfh cells but is debated for Tfr cells. Here, we used high-throughput T cell receptor (TCR) sequencing to analyze the repertoires of Tfh and Tfr cells, at homeostasis and after immunization with self- or foreign antigens.
