Lindenhofspital
Gerhard Flueckiger has made significant contributions to the field of orthopedic surgery through their research on ankle fractures. Recent studies have focused on the use of weightbearing radiographs to assess the stability of supination-external rotation fractures, providing valuable insights for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. Additionally, Flueckiger's work has also explored the takedown of ankle fusion and conversion to total ankle replacement, offering innovative solutions for challenging cases and improving patient outcomes. These advancements have important implications for orthopedic practice, advancing our understanding of ankle stability and fracture management, and ultimately benefiting patients with complex lower limb injuries.
