No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study investigates, in a randomized setting, the use of intermittent in-cast pneumatic foot-compression (IPC) in the preoperative treatment of malleolar fractures. This is to investigate whether the IPC has any effect on preventing swelling of the ankle, and thereby preventing delay of surgery due to swelling.

The investigators will include patients with malleolar fractures that require surgery in two groups, IPC and bandage or bandage only, and measure the time from diagnosis-to-surgery.
