Weight-bearing Radiographs to Evaluate Stability in Ankles With Isolated Weber Type B Fractures.

Open fracture reduction followed by internal fixation using a plate and screws. The goal is an osteosynthesis that allow for early range-of-motion exercises, but weightbearing is usually not tolerated until 6 weeks postoperatively.

Conservative treatment involves ankle protection with a functional brace (AirCast) for 6 weeks. Participants will be instructed to bear weight as tolerated and to actively do standardized range-of-motion exercises.
