The GRADE Working Group, Available from guidelinedevelopment.org/handbook. A common type of trauma is supination trauma, in which the lateral ligaments are hyperextended when the foot is turned outwards. New York: Thieme; 2007. There are three common classification systems used for the categorisation of ankle fractures (Bonnaire 2010). Foot Ankle Int. 2016;44(8):21229. The ankle is supported by ligaments on both the medial and lateral sides that stabilize the foot under the leg and lock the fibula and tibia together . General Rehabilitation Guideline: Nonoperative Treatment The ankle is placed into a cast or boot to immobilizer the bones while they heal. Furthermore, the posterior tibial edge forms the posterior malleolus, which is situated at the back of the tibia. In everyday clinical practice, displaced fibular fractures (Weber B and C), bimalleolar fractures, trimalleolar fractures, as well as open fractures and fractures with chondral impaction, are usually treated surgically.

Where it is inappropriate to pool data, we will present trial data in the analyses or tables for illustrative purposes, and report these in the text. All review authors contributed to, read and approved the final protocol draft. Accurate and rigid internal fixation of intraarticular fractures aims at providing the best possible range of motion by allowing earlier mobilisation (in comparison withnonsurgical management) and optimising ankle joint mechanics. Seventy per cent of ankle fractures are unimalleolar injuries, the Weber B-type of fibula fracture being by far the most common type. Donken 2012), bibliographies of included studies and any relevant systematic reviews. We will present a summary of the evidence in a 'Summary of findings' table as displayed inAppendix 2.

At 4 weeks post-injury, you will gradually transition to regular shoes. Generally, fractures of the lower extremity have a significant impact on the quality of life of those affected, not just in terms of mobility and everyday activity, but also in terms of the development of anxiety and depression (McKeown 2019). Stay Informed. 2019;51(9):63845. Nonoperative care. Surgical treatment involves the open, minimally invasive or closed reduction (if displaced) of the fracture followed by fracture fixation via various devices such as metal plates, screws, tension bands, tightropes, intramedullary nails, isolated fibular nailing and external fixation. There will be no language, time or publication restrictions. Injury. Ankle fractures often require surgical management for optimal stabilisation.

Fujioka H, Tsunemi K, Takagi Y, Tanaka J. Better reporting of interventions: template for intervention description and replication (TIDieR) checklist and guide. There are limited data reporting the outcome of patients with non-operatively managed medial malleolus fractures compared to those treated surgically in the presence of fibular stabilisation for unstable fractures of the ankle. The upper ankle joint is a hinge joint and allows for lifting (dorsal extension) and lowering (plantar flexion) of the foot. A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. The pooled rerupture rate was 3.6% (3.4% best-case scenario, 8.3% worst-case scenario) in the surgical treatment arm and 12.1% (11.7% best-case scenario, 15.0% worst-case scenario) in the nonoperative treatment arm.

If we cannot resolve a disagreement, we will categorise the study as 'Awaiting classification' and will contact the study authors for clarification. Surgical procedures aim to achieve anatomical restoration of the articular surface and to stabilise it by osteosynthesis. Which of the following features can be used to predict recovery time following a stress fracture? Hold the stretch for a five-count and do 5 repetitions. Several explanations may account for funnel plot asymmetry, including true heterogeneity of effect with respect to study size, poor methodological design (and hence, bias of small studies), and selective nonreporting (Kirkham 2010). Philadelphia, PA: Elsevier/Mosby; 2017. p. 2656711. We will include an appendix entitled 'Checklist to aid consistency and reproducibility of GRADE assessments', to help with standardisation of the 'Summary of findings' tables (Meader 2014). Lin 2012concluded that there was only poor evidence on rehabilitation after nonsurgical or surgical treatment of ankle fractures; this was found also byKeene 2014.

Inclusion in an NLM database does not imply endorsement of, or agreement with, We will search for conference proceedings in the Orthopaedic Proceedings (online.boneandjoint.org.uk/journal/procs). Ankle fractures are the most common type of lower extremity fracture and among the most common types of fractures worldwide [].The incidence of ankle fractures is between 100 and 150 per 100,000 person-years and rising [2,3].More than half of ankle fractures occur during sports activities, which is indicative of a healthy patient population []. Following non-operative fixation, mobilization can typically begin once callus is demonstrated on follow-up imaging, typically ranging from 4 to 8 weeks. We will thereafter seek relevant missing information on the study from the primary study author(s), if required.

Participantreported outcomes: healthrelated quality of life; functional outcomes; pain; nonserious adverse events; time to return to work, time to return to sports and normal activities. Weber/AO- categorizes fractures on level of the fibular fracture. The prehabilitation protocol includes pre-operative non-weight bearing mobilisation using an assistive device on level ground. PubMed 2009;80(5):4919. We anticipate that for individually randomised trials, the unit of analysis will be the participant, as bilateral ankle fractures are rare. Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions version 6.0 (updated July 2019). Ankle fractures are mostly diagnosed by Xray, computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. J Appl Physiol (1985). Hoffmann T, Glasziou P, Boutron I, Milne R, Perera R, Moher D, et al. Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions version 6.2(updated February2021), Available from www.training.cochrane.org/handbook. We will list all articles excluded after fulltext assessment in a 'Characteristics of excluded studies' table and will provide the reasons for exclusion. For nonsurgical treatment, immobilisation of the ankle is generally considered to be important for bone healing. We will investigate attrition rates (e.g. GRADE handbook for grading quality of evidence and strength of recommendations (updated October 2013). Injury. Weight Bearing: Distal fibular fractures (Weber A) are typically treated nonsurgically (Goost 2014). Tibial stress injury: relationship of radiographic, nuclear medicine bone scanning, MR imaging, and CT severity grades to clinical severity and time to healing. Google Scholar. For continuous outcomes that measure the same underlying concept (e.g. Thur CK, Edgren G, Jansson K, Wretenberg P. Epidemiology of adult ankle fractures in Sweden between 1987 and 2004: a population-based study of 91,410 Swedish inpatients, Die Verletzungen des oberen Sprunggelenkes, Optimal CINAHL search strategies for identifying therapy studies and review articles. Wright AA, Taylor JB, Ford KR, Siska L, Smoliga JM. Objectives This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (intervention). In the event of substantial clinical or methodological heterogeneity, we will not report study results as the pooled effect estimate in a metaanalysis.

Rue JP, Armstrong DW 3rd, Frassica FJ, Deafenbaugh M, Wilckens JH. The intent of posting these standards of care and protocols is to provide clinicians and patients . For left ankle fractures return to driving is generally ok when you are out of the splint, are off of pain medications and have minimal pain in the ankle. 2019;27(7):e3306. Injury. Surgical versus conservative interventions for treating ankle fractures in adults, Population-based epidemiology of 9767 ankle fractures. 1-8 In this particular fracture type, the ankle mortise is either stable or unstable depending on accompanying soft tissue injury. PubMed Basic techniques for splinting of musculoskeletal injuries. Borgeat A, Ofner C, Saporito A, Farshad M, Aguirre J. Am J Sports Med. The outcome of 'pain' will be presented at very shortterm and shortterm followup. GENERAL TREATMENT: Increase dorsiflexion to restore gait Monitor PAIN and SWELLING: If either increase, modify rehab protocol. The Mller AO classification system is a more detailed classification, based on the WeberDanis classification, that promotes an understanding of the pattern of the injury and the combinations of ligamentous and osseous (bony) lesions (Mller 1990). Stevenson S, Emery SE, Goldberg VM. The purpose of this study is to determine if any difference exists in . Jones GL. In doing so, surgery aims to speed recovery, return to everyday activities and backtoworktime. We will also link together multiple reports of excluded studies, ongoing studies, and studies awaiting classification. This means that one or more of the bones that make up the ankle joint are broken. We will present the results of this survey in an appendix. Injury. Stress fractures in athletes: diagnosis and management. Driving can occur within a couple weeks if the left ankle is injured, but if your right ankle is injured then your surgeon will have to determine that you are ready to bear weight through the ankle in order to drive, you should also cease all medication that can affect your timing and decision making judgment while driving. Six weeks of splinting, elevation NWB or TTWB and early motion yield results good. Additionally, we will contact the authors of included studies to obtain additional information on the retrieved studies, and to establish whether we may have missed further studies. Alternatively, rehabilitation could start after the immobilisation period. I would like you to come out of the boot/brace to work on the following exercises, twice daily: Write the alphabet with your foot. For continuous outcomes measured on the same scale (e.g. Estimation of return-to-sports-time for athletes with stress fracturean approach combining risk level of fracture site with severity based on imaging. Fractures in older adults. description of the interventions, description of cointerventions), outcome measurement and data (e.g. J Orthop Surg Res. Orthopedic Specialists of Seattle provides new and advanced procedures including endoscopic carpel tunnel release surgery for carpal tunnel syrome, complex joint restoration procedures, anterior approach hip replacement surgery, and more. Marsell R, Einhorn TA. A posterior splint that allows for ankle and subtalar joint range of motion is advised at 2-5 days. Bothnonsurgical as well as surgical management of an ankle fracture aimat restoring the anatomy and stability of the ankle. Ankle fractures occur when one or more parts of the distal tibia or fibula break. Patient will be walking with crutches and touchdown (toe-touch) weight bearing on the surgical leg for 4 - 6 weeks post-op. Hoyt BW, Pavey GJ, Pasquina PF, Potter BK. We will focus on the assessment of the effect of assignment to the interventions at baseline.
