Abstract:
In a recent article in the BMJ an attempt is made to evaluate the difference in effect of after-treatment with a cast or a brace in case of an ankle fracture. Although the research question is important, the heterogeneity of the researched group is too high to get a practical outcome for our daily practice. The article is discussed and comments are given on possible alterations for future analysis of the presented study group.

The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
