Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Early Weight Bearing
Ankle immobilized with orthosis (DJO Nextep Contour 2 Walker) with 3 1.5 cm wedges in the heel, fixing the angle between 20-30 degrees. The orthosis was used for 8 weeks, gradually removing the wedges. Full weight bearing was allowed from day 1. The orthosis was worn 24 hours / day the first 2 weeks.
From week 2 controlled motion exercises and removal of the orthosis 5 times a day.
Early weight bearing
The intervention implies that the selected patients, will be allowed to bear weight on the injured leg form day 1 while wearing the orthosis, in contrast to the control group, who must wait 6 weaks.
