29 Οκτ 2016 · Ankle fractures, even if treated surgically, usually take a long time to heal. For all patients with ankle fracture, immobilisation is a critical part of treatment. Short-leg walking boots (WBs) have been reported to be an effective alternative to plaster casts (PCs) that could shorten this postoperative recuperative period.
The ART trial is the largest RCT to date comparing removable support boot with a plaster cast for early mobilisation after ankle fracture surgery and ours is the first cost-effectiveness evaluation comparing the two ankle management treatment options.
