OrthoEvidence Journal (OE Journal) - ACE Report
OE Journal. 2013;1(4):12 Lancet. 2009 Feb 14;373(9663):575-81584 patients with severe ankle sprains were recruited from eight emergency departments to assess the effectiveness of three different bracing options and to compare them with a tubular compression brace. Patients were randomized to treatment with a below-knee cast, an Aircast brace, Bledsoe boot, or tubular compression brace. At three month follow-up, there was a significant improvement in the Foot and Ankle scores of the below-knee casting and Airbrace groups in comparison to the tubular compression brace. There were no differences between groups at a nine month follow-up.

مؤشر الهشاشة هو أداة تساعد في تفسير النتائج المهمة، وتوفر مقياسًا لقوة النتيجة. ويمثل مؤشر الهشاشة عدد الأحداث المتتالية التي يجب إضافتها إلى نتيجة ثنائية التفرع لجعل النتيجة غير مهمة. يمثل الرقم الصغير نتيجة أضعف ويمثل الرقم الكبير نتيجة أقوى.
لماذا كانت هناك حاجة لهذه الدراسة الآن؟
Severe ankle sprains are a common occurrence. Current treatment methods for this injury vary greatly, with no consensus on a gold standard. High-quality evidence is lacking on determining the most effective method. Immobilization devices is one of such treatment methods; however, it has not been studied extensively. Thus, this study assessed treatment using a variety of support methods and compared them to a common treatment - the tubular compressive bracing.
ما هو سؤال البحث الرئيسي؟
Were the clinical outcomes of three mechanical supports for severe ankle sprains (Air cast, Bledsoe boot, and 10 day knee cast) different from a double-layer tubular compression bandage, when measured at 9 months?
- The tubular compression bandage was the least effective treatment brace, in terms of improvements in Foot and Ankle scores
- Clinically important benefits occurred at 3 months in the below-knee cast group when compared with the tubular compression bandage for FAOS quality scores (Mean difference: 9%; 95% CI: 2.4-15.0%; p<0.007). Differences were also demonstrated in FAOS pain, symptoms, and activities of daily living subscales.
- Similar FAOS quality scores were seen in the Aircast group (Mean difference: 8%; 95% CI: 1.8 -14.2%; ES: 0.33) and the below-knee cast (Mean difference: 9%; 95% CI: 2.4-15.0%; ES: 0.36) at 3 months. These scores were better than those in the tubigrip and Bledsoe groups.
- Pertaining to the SF-12 scores, patients in the Aircast and Bledsoe groups had better mental health-related quality of life, in comparison to the other 2 groups at 3 months.
- There were no differences in outcomes between any of the groups at 9 months.
ما الذي يجب أن أتذكره أكثر؟
Results from this study indicated that both below-knee casting and the Aircast brace were superior treatments for severe ankle sprains, as treatments provided significant improvements in Foot and Ankle scores at 3 months when compared to a tubular compression brace.
كيف سيؤثر ذلك على رعاية مرضاي؟
Based on the results from this study patients presenting with severe ankle sprains are advised to undergo short term immobilization treatment using either a 10 day below-knee cast or an Aircast brace. It may be beneficial to determine whether additional treatments such as physiotherapy or surgery are useful adjuncts to mechanical supports, and the optimal time for application.
