Early Protected Full Weight-bearing vs. Partial Weight-bearing After Surgical Fixation of Unstable Ankle Fractures, Monitored With Bio-feedback Insoles.
Sponsor: Cantonal Hospital of St. Gallen
Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the postoperative results after ORIF (Open Reduction Inner Fixation) with a partial weight-bearing protocol versus an early full weight-bearing protocol. But in addition, we will measure every patient's actual load by the means of walker integrated bio-feedback insoles for the first six postoperative weeks to record the adherence to the protocol.
