Phase 2
Early weight bearing after ankle fracture fixation rapid returns of driving: a randomized controlled trialWhat is the best post-operative protocol for ankle fracture? This question still has no clear consensus, especially in terms of driving safety. To evaluate driving safe, we used a well-known parameter called brake response time.Ankle fracture, Brake response time, FAAM scoreTCTR20220221004Faculty of medicine Siriraj hospital, Mahidol University58
