Study Summary
No study has prospectively compared a traditional post-operative non-weightbearing protocol versus early post-operative weightbearing as tolerated for unstable ankle injuries after surgical fixation of the syndesmosis. This prospective study will attempt to determine if early weightbearing can improve functional outcomes, result in a quicker return to work, and monitor differences in rates of adverse events. It will exclude the most severe ankle injuries and patients with excluding comorbidities.
Primary Outcome
Functional outcomes will be measured through physical examinations. A patients range of motion will be assessed through dorsiflexion and plantarflexion, measured from neutral ankle position, and inversion and eversion will be tested as well.
Interventions
- PROCEDURE Early Weightbearing management post operation
- PROCEDURE Delayed Weightbearing management post operation (Traditional)
