Detailed description

This study is a single center randomized controlled trail in which we compare outpatient and inpatient patients with an ankle fracture requiring surgical treatment. Primary outcome: The primary objective of this study is to compare the 12-weeks patient reported Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FOAS). Secondary outcomes: Multiple other analysis are planned, but being secondary, they are hypothesis generating.
