The investigators aimed to find out the answer to the following question: will conservative treatment be the shining star in the post pandemic period?

Conditions

Ankle Fractures; Proximal Humeral Fracture; Wrist Fracture

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Comparison of the two groups in terms of bony union

  The investigators aimed to investigate the duration of bone union time between two groups

  12 week

Study Arms (6)

Patients with AO Weber B-type ankle fracture in prepandemic period

Weber B-type Ankle fractures in pandemic period

Proximal humerus fractures in prepandemic period

Patients with 2-part,3-part and 4-part fractures in prepandemic period

Proximal humerus fractures in pandemic period

Patients with 2-part,3-part and 4-part fractures in pandemic period

Procedure: Observation for study group

Interventions

Observation for study group PROCEDURE

Patients with Weber B-type Ankle fractures, extraarticular wrist fractures and proximal humerus fractures were followed with conservative manner( cast or sling)

Also known as: Surgery for control group
