Abstract
Closed-ankle fractures presenting to the podiatric service between 1978 and 1991 are reviewed. Patients able to return for follow-up were tested through Cybex isokinetic testing, proprioception, and radiographic studies. All patients reviewed had equal or greater strength and endurance on the involved side when compared to the uninvolved side. Proprioceptive deficits were noted in all patients with lateral malleolar involvement regardless of time of follow-up.
