Functional orthosis versus cast immobilization for weightbearing stable Weber B ankle fractures with concomitant unstable gravity stress tests: a protocol for a two-year multicentre randomized controlled noninferiority trial

Functional orthosis versus cast immobilization for weightbearing stable Weber B ankle fractures with concomitant unstable gravity stress tests: a protocol for a two-year multicentre randomized controlled noninferiority trial

Aims: Treatment of Weber B ankle fractures that are stable on weightbearing radiographs but unstable on concomitant stress tests (classified SER4a) is controversial. Recent studies indicate that these fractures should be treated nonoperatively, but no studies have compared alternative nonoperative o...
