Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

In this study we are trying to determine the incidence of flat foot (also called pes planus) among patients who have had an ankle fracture. As compared to the general population, it is predicted that the incidence of pes planus will be higher among people who have fractured their ankle.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Pes planus may develop following ankle fractures due to additional injuries that are sustained at the time of ankle fracture. If this study can demonstrate an association, further research would investigate how to effectively treat the pes planus early to prevent it from becoming a symptomatic problem.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

Patients will be considered eligible if:

* They have sustained Weber type B or C ankle fractures and needed open reduction
* They are 18 years of age or older
* They are expected to be full weight bearing for at least 4 months to allow the potential of supporting structures to stretch and pes planus to develop

Exclusion Criteria

* Patients will be excluded if they already have flat foot in their non-fractured foot.
* Patients with bilateral ankle fractures
* Patients who are not competent to sign a consent form
* A second fracture to the ankle
* Pathological fractures
* Patients with underlying cancer.
