  Recruiting Haukeland University Hospital · Bergen, Vestland · NCT05413707

• Simplified rehabilitation for ankle and pilon fractures

  This study tests if a simple wooden block stretching routine can help people recover from ankle and pilon fractures just as well as regular physical therapy.

  Recruiting University of Virginia · Charlottesville, Virginia · NCT05280639

• Comparing two surgical methods for treating ankle fractures in elderly patients

  This study is testing which surgical method works better for treating ankle fractures in frail elderly patients: a fusion surgery or a method that uses plates and screws.

  Recruiting London Health Sciences Centre Research Institute OR Lawson Research Institute of St. Joseph's · London, Ontario · NCT05131321

• Comparing immediate and delayed weight bearing after surgery for diabetic ankle fractures
