Abstract
Fractures of the ankle and foot are common in the worker. Proper initial assessment and treatment can result in a functional recovery that is prompt and complete in many cases. Many fractures, however, have a poor long-term prognosis and prolonged recovery. Frank initial discussions with the patient and case manager can help the system better manage the patient's future.
