Summary
This study looked at 86 adults who had ankle fracture surgery with screws to stabilize the joint. Even when their post-surgery X-rays looked good, a CT scan sometimes found that the bones were not perfectly aligned. The researchers then checked if this hidden misalignment affected how well the ankle worked one year later.
