Braces versus casts for post-operational immobilization of ankle fractures: A meta-analysis
Background and aimsBoth casts and braces can be used for post-operational immobilization of ankle fractures. This meta-analysis aimed to assess the complications and functional effects of the two types of immobilization.Material and methodsPubMed, Embase, Cochrane, and CNKI was searched for randomiz...
