Author/Year

Mobility/Independence

Osterhoff et al. 2019 [24]

36(24%) patients returned home in operative group compared to 19(23%) in non-operative group

Sanders et al. 2016 [30]

All patients returned to pre injury level of function at an average 625 days of follow up

Balling et al. 2019 [25]

All patients discharged when able to mobilise upstairs

Collinge et al. 2016 [8]

Not described

Oikonomidis et al. 2019 [26]

Mobility at discharge: 10(31%) crutches, 21(66%) walker/rollator, 1 (3%) unable to mobilise. Follow up at 7 months: 11(34%) independent, 7(22%) crutches, 6(19%) walker, 1(3%) immobile

Hopf et al. 2015 [19]

Complete mobility regained in 73% at discharge

Walker et al. 2018 [27]

75% patients discharged home in operative group compared to 20% in non-operative group (p = < 0.001). Significantly longer walking distance in operative vs non-operative at discharge (95.4 vs 35.2 ft p = < 0.01)

Arduini et al. 2015 [31]

Bed rest 4–6 weeks post op. At 6 months 11 patients (79%) had normal mobility, 1(7%) single crutch, 1 (7%) two crutches

Pulley et al. 2018 [28]

Average day 1 mobilisation 102 ft

Wahnert et al. 2013 [32]

All patients could be mobilised to their pre-operative levels

Hoch et al. 2017 (1) [6]

Not described

Gansslen et al. 2013 [7]

24 patients full mobility pre injury and 1 patient mobile with walker. At discharge 14 (58%) regained full mobility. 7 (28%) partial weight bearing. 21 (88%) patients regained baseline mobility at frame removal (average 4 weeks)

Eckardt et al. 2017 [29]

73% independent at home, 13% lost independence. 60% Performed TUG test <30s

Mehling et al. 2012 [18]

Not described

Hoch et al. 2017 (2) [14]

At 1 year 9(26%) patients mobile without aids, 6(18%) required 1 or 2 crutches, 12 (35%) with walker

Lau et al. 2010 [33]

At 3 months 53% baseline mobility isolated rami fractures, 62% LC1 and 56% LC2 fractures

  

Vanderschot et al. 209 [34]

5 point ADL score used. Average 3.26 pre op improved to 1.68 at follow up (P = < 0.0001) at an average of 9 months
