Summary

This study looked at 86 adults who had ankle fracture surgery. 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 how well the ankle worked one year later. The goal was to see if CT scans give a better picture of healing than X-rays alone.
