Patient Application Guide(s):
Instructions for use:
- “Conservative Therapy for Acute Lateral Ligament Lesions – Single Chamber vs. Two-Chamber Orthosis Systems” (Schmidt, Mainers, Reintges, Lipke, Benesch, Gerngross- Surgery Dept of the Federal Arm Hospital, Ulm, Germany, 1999) compares the effectiveness of a dual aircell orthosis vs a single aircell boot system in reducing swelling 3x faster of the injured ankle.
- “Functional outcome of surgery for fractures of the ankle. A prospective, randomised comparison of management in a cast or a functional brace”. (Egol KA, Dolan R, Koval KJ, The Journal of Bone and Joint Study, March 2000) show that the use of a functional brace and early movement after surgery is beneficial for patients with ankle fracture and allows for significantly earlier return to work.
