Article Synopsis
- * A study at University Hospitals Leuven examined 236 patients, revealing that most followed a late weight-bearing approach, and found no significant differences in recovery outcomes or healthcare costs between early and late weight-bearing strategies.
- * The research suggests that early weight-bearing is safe for younger patients with low BMI, and strategies to reduce hospital stays may be more effective for controlling costs than changes in orthotic use.
Purpose: Trimalleolar ankle fractures (TAFs) are common traumatic injuries. Studies have described postoperative clinical outcomes in relation to fracture morphology, but less is known about foot biomechanics, especially in patients treated for TAFs. The aim of this study was to analyze segmental foot mobility and joint coupling during the gait of patients after TAF treatment.

The treatment goal is to restore the alignment and articular congruence, and providing sufficient stability which allows early mobilization. The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility and safety of the newly developed WAVE posterior proximal tibia plate.
