Abstract

Forty-three patients with stable internal fixation of fresh ankle fractures were treated at random with a plaster cast for 6 weeks without weight bearing or were only immobilized for 3 days, after which active movements were encouraged. The two groups were followed for a year. Only at 6 weeks were there significant differences between the groups.
