nkle Fractures - an update of the evidence
Forde C., Keene D.
The number of ankle fractures in the population is expected to increase significantly, due to an ageing population and the increased participation of older people in sporting activities. This will potentially result in a growing demand for physiotherapy services. An understanding of the current evidence relating to this condition is needed to ensure the provision of high-quality patient care. In this article we present an overview of the current research on the assessment, prognosis, and treatment after an ankle fracture. We also offer our thoughts on how the existing evidence can be used to guide clinical practice.
