Studies have assessed advanced fixation options such as standard and extended ORIF, hindfoot nailing, and fibular nailing, with growing interest in methods that accommodate poor bone quality and enable early weightbearing. Individualised care pathways and the need for standardisation in rehabilitation protocols are important.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Summary<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Personalised and multidisciplinary treatment is essential for this group of patients. No single intervention is optimal; treatment must consider patient frailty, comorbidities, and functional demands.
