简要总结
The purpose of this observational study is to assess the rate of return to work, rate of return to activities, functional outcome measures and pain scores in operatively repaired rotational Bimalleolar and Trimalleolar (AO/OTA Classification of 44A and 44B) ankle fractures not requiring fixation of the syndesmosis and allowed early weight bearing on or before the first post-operative visit.

结局指标
主要结局
Functional Outcome Scores
时间窗: 12 months post operatively
During follow up visits functional outcomes scores will be assess using the Foot and Ankle Score and the PROMIS (Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System) Mobility Measure questionnaires. These forms will be analyzed together to determine the patients functional outcomes.
次要结局
- Return to work(up to 12 months)
- Fracture Healing(up to 12 months)
- Pain Scores(12 months post operatively)
- Post operative complications(up to 12 months)
