Predicting factors for better outcomes of stable supination external rotation type 2 ankle fractures.

Purpose: Stable Weber B ankle fractures are treated by a walking boot for 6 weeks and bearing full weight through the boot as tolerated. The aim of the present study was to assess the outcome parameters of this treatment protocol, evaluate the efficacy of using the walking boot, and investigate any possible predicting factors that could affect the outcomes.

Methods: All the patients with stable Weber B ankle fractures, treated in our hospital between January 2018 and December 2018, were prospectively included to the study.

Patient reported outcomes following non-operatively managed Weber Type A distal fibula fractures.

Introduction: The outcomes of "Weber A" type fibula fractures treated non-operatively are not well studied. The aims of this study were to investigate patient reported outcomes (PROMs) from such injuries and investigate if different radiological features of the fracture affects such outcomes.

Methods: Patients with conservatively managed Weber A fractures were contacted retrospectively (minimum 11 months) to measure PROMs.

Standardised virtual fracture clinic management of Achilles tendon ruptures is safe and reproducible.

Background: Traditional fracture clinics are some of the busiest clinics in a hospital, often with significant patient waiting times and delays. The use of virtual fracture clinic (VFC) for the management of certain injuries to reduce the workload on the traditional fracture clinic, in addition to reducing costs is growing in popularity. The tendoachilles is the most frequently ruptured tendon in the body but despite this, management remains a keenly debated topic.
