Background: When combustion and ambustion induce a superficial injury, they are summarized as superficial burns, regardless of the underlying cause. Reflectance-confocal microscopy (RCM) allows noninvasive imaging of the human skin on morphological features. We hypothesized that combustion and ambustion have different histomorphological effects on the human skin.

Functional treatment and early weightbearing after an ankle fracture: a prospective study.

Department of Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgery, Cologne-Merheim University of Witten-Herdecke, Cologne, Germany.
Objective: Postoperative care for ankle fractures is generally 1 of 2 regimens: 1) functional treatment combined with early weightbearing (EWB), or 2) immobilization in a cast/orthosis for 6 weeks without weightbearing (6WC). The objective of this study was 2-fold: 1) to follow a prospective group treated with EWB as to long-term subjective and objective outcomes, and 2) to compare a subset of this group with a matched group of historic controls treated with 6WC.
Design: Prospective, clinical, cohort observation, and retrospective matched pair analysis.
