Background: Postoperative care protocols for ankle fracture surgery remain controversial with variability among care providers. This prospective controlled trial compared 12-week postoperative outcomes for immediate unprotected weightbearing (IMWB) vs nonweightbearing (NWB) for 2 weeks in a splint followed by weightbearing as tolerated (WBAT) in a boot after surgical fixation of selected low-energy ankle fractures without superior articular involvement.
Methods: Eighty-seven patients undergoing surgical fixation of ankle fractures at a single level 1 trauma center were recruited according to specific criteria and enrolled by presentation date.
Article Synopsis
- The REGAIN trial found that spinal and general anesthesia provide similar outcomes regarding ambulation and survival after hip fracture surgery.
- In a secondary analysis, researchers compared pain levels, analgesic use, and patient satisfaction between the two anesthesia types.
- Results indicated that spinal anesthesia led to more severe pain in the first 24 hours post-surgery and higher prescription analgesic use at 60 days, while patient satisfaction remained comparable across both groups.
Objectives: To quantify anatomic variation in sagittal proximal tibial anatomy and determine if anatomy or nail insertion method influences the radiographic nail position.
Design: Retrospective cohort of prospectively collected data.
Setting: Level 1 trauma center.
Objectives: To report on the safety of unicortical plate stabilization in conjunction with intramedullary nailing (IMN) of proximal third tibia fractures.
Design: Retrospective cohort.
Setting: A Level I trauma center.
Background: Operative fixation of displaced, mid-shaft clavicle fractures has become an increasingly common practice. With this emerging trend, data describing patient outcomes with longer follow-up are necessary.
Patients And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of subjects treated with plate fixation for displaced mid-shaft clavicle fractures from 2003 to 2009 at a Level I trauma hospital.
