This trial compares two methods to control bleeding during ankle surgery. One uses a diluted medicine to constrict blood vessels, the other uses a tourniquet. The goal is to see which method gives the surgeon a clearer view.
This study tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation device placed on the skin around the ankle can help recovery after ankle fracture surgery. It may reduce pain, swelling, and healing time.
This trial compares tourniquet use during ankle fracture surgery. It looks at outcomes for patients with a simple (closed) ankle fracture caused by a ground-level fall who are having metal plates and screws placed.
