Functional orthosis versus cast immobilization for weightbearing stable Weber B ankle fractures with concomitant unstable gravity stress tests.

Aims: Treatment of Weber B ankle fractures that are stable on weightbearing radiographs but unstable on concomitant stress tests (classified SER4a) is controversial. Recent studies indicate that these fractures should be treated nonoperatively, but no studies have compared alternative nonoperative options. This study aims to evaluate patient-reported outcomes and the safety of fracture treatment using functional orthosis versus cast immobilization.

Characteristics of women with repeat termination of pregnancy: a study of all requests for pregnancy termination in Norway during 2007-2011.

Introduction: We studied the proportion of all pregnancy terminations requested by women with a history of pregnancy termination. We also studied risk factors for repeat pregnancy termination.

Material And Methods: We used data from the Norwegian Register of Pregnancy Termination during the period 2007-2011, a total of 80,346 requests for pregnancy termination before the end of the 12th gestational week.
