Impact of Weight-Bearing and Early Mobilization in Patients After Internal Fixation of Unstable Ankle Fractures: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Puntos clave

This research aims to evaluate the effects of weight-bearing and early mobilization on recovery in patients with unstable ankle fractures treated with internal fixation.
Conducted as a randomized controlled trial.
Participants were patients post-internal fixation of unstable ankle fractures.
Evaluated the impact of early mobilization and weight-bearing interventions.
Patients undergoing early mobilization showed better recovery outcomes.
Weight-bearing contributed to improved functional scores.
Reduced time to return to daily activities was observed.
