Outcomes of Displaced Distal tibial fractures - Surgery Or Casts in KidS (ODD SOCKS)

Is surgery necessary for the treatment of displaced ankle fractures in children?

The ODD SOCKS study will compare surgery to perfectly realign the fracture, to treating the bone in a cast without correcting the fracture position. The important finding will be how well the children and young people can function (i.e. walk/run/play/participate in sport) two years after the condition was first identified, along with the length and appearance of the leg.
