Anti-gravity treadmill rehabilitation improves gait and muscle atrophy in patients with surgically treated ankle and tibial plateau fractures after one year: A randomised clinical trial.

Objective: To compare the one-year postoperative outcomes of anti-gravity treadmill rehabilitation with those of standard rehabilitation in patients with ankle or tibial plateau fractures.

Design: An open-label prospective randomised study.

Setting: Three trauma centres.

Impact of anti-gravity treadmill rehabilitation therapy on the clinical outcomes after fixation of lower limb fractures: A randomized clinical trial.

Objective: To compare the effects of anti-gravity treadmill rehabilitation with those of standard rehabilitation on surgically treated ankle and tibial plateau fractures.

Design: Open-label prospective randomized multicenter study.

Setting: Three level 1 trauma centers.

[Fractures of the ankle joint in elderly patients].

The number of ankle fractures in elderly patients is increasing. The aim of treatment of ankle fractures in the elderly is to guarantee a possible unlimited autonomy and quality of life for patients. This is achieved by minimization of the complications and impairments after ankle joint fractures.

Hip screw migration testing: first results for hip screws and helical blades utilizing a new oscillating test method.

Despite continued improvement in the methods and devices used to treat intertrochanteric fractures, there remains an unacceptable amount of failures. The cut-out rate for hip screws has been recorded up to 8.3%.
