Early weight bearing after ankle fracture fixation rapid returns of driving: a randomized controlled trial
Phase 2
- Conditions
- What 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 score
