NCT04648488

Brief Summary

The purpose with the study is to evalute if early mobilsation after surgery in patients vid elbow frakture-dislocation may lead to better armfunction and reduce common complications as stiffnes in the elbow. After surgery patients will be randomised to either early mobilisation (exercise treatment 3 Days after surgery) or ordinary treatment (plaster and exercise treatment 3 weeks after surgery).

Study Arms (2)

Early mobilisation

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients will start unloaded exercise treatment 3 days after surgery. They will remove the plaster 5 times every day to perform range of motion exercises.

Other: Experimental early mobilisation

Standard treatment

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Patients will have a plaster 3 weeks after surgery and after that start with exercise treatment.

Other: Aktive comparator standrad treatmnet

Interventions

early activ assisted exercises treatment

Early mobilisation

standard treatment with a plaster 3 weeks and then active assisted exercises
