Early weight-bearing following surgical fixation of ankle fractures without trans-syndesmotic fixation: safety and early functional outcomes - a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract Background Early weight-bearing (EWB) following surgical fixation of malleolar (distal fibula and tibia) fractures in cases without trans-syndesmotic fixation is increasingly advocated, yet clear benefits over delayed weight-bearing (DWB) remain uncertain.
