Immediate Weight-Bearing after Ankle Fracture Fixation

Immediate Weight-Bearing after Ankle Fracture Fixation

We believe that a certain subset of surgical ankle fracture patients can be made weight-bearing as tolerated immediately following surgery. Immediate weight-bearing as tolerated (IWBAT) allows patients to return to ambulation and activities of daily living faster and may facilitate rehabilitation. A...
