First seen Apr 26, 2026 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study looks at 60 adults with a specific type of ankle fracture (Weber B) to compare three common stress tests used to check joint stability. The tests—gravity, manual rotation, and weight-bearing—are all standard care, but it's not clear if one gives better information. The goal is to see if the measurements differ, which could help doctors choose the best test for treatment decisions.
