The O group started mobilization at 2 weeks, as compared to 5 weeks in the C group.
In case of very extensive acetabular reconstructions, e.g. severe pelvic dislocation and high dislocation, patients initially had a six-week period of bed rest to achieve full graft incorporation before starting mobilization.
Limiting factors to start early mobilization included restricted staffing capacities, diagnostic or surgical procedures, patients' refusal, as well as severe hemodynamic instability.
Co-interventions, such as start of mobilization with a brace and duration of bed rest, varied between studies and between groups within some studies.
One week postoperatively, the patients were encouraged to start passive mobilization of the shoulder with forward flexion to 60° and external rotation to 10°.
One reason for the higher mortality among the preoperative LdAA users may be the higher risk of early postoperative complications often leading to longer time before start of mobilization and rehabilitation [ 25].
A hinged external elbow fixator, on the other hand, may provide enough stability to start early mobilization after ORIF or arthroplasty and may prevent residual instability and stiffness [ 4, 5].
Criteria for discharge are those for functional recovery and include: started with mobilization, oral or enteral intake according to nutritional demand, without supplementary intravenous fluids and adequate pain control with oral medication.
Germany was able to deliver 380,000 troops to the forward zone within 18 days of the start (July 14) of mobilization, while many French units reached the front either late or with inadequate supplies.
Double strand origins, putative single strand origins and typical mobilization start signals were identified.
