Funded Activity Summary

Ankle fractures are frequently seen in emergency departments, and isolated AO type B fibula fractures are the most common type of ankle fracture. Current treatment is equally divided between surgical, and non-surgical, as per surgeon preference. When managed surgically, these fractures consume considerable healthcare resources and expose patients to risks. This study will determine if surgery improves outcomes for patients with type B ankle fractures when compared with non-surgical management.
