What this Trial Is About
Ankle fractures are common injuries that can cause significant pain and limit ankle function. Researchers are evaluating whether using an ankle stirrup, a less restrictive brace allowing active ankle movement, is not worse than the standard foot-ankle brace walker that immobilizes the ankle. This trial aims to determine if the ankle stirrup can reduce pain and improve function measured by the Manchester-Oxford Foot Questionnaire MOXFQ three months after fracture, while also considering patient preferences and recovery speed. The study is a large, pragmatic, randomized controlled trial conducted across multiple orthopedic centers in Scandinavia.
