Summary
This study is creating and testing a Turkish version of a questionnaire that measures how people recover from ankle fractures. Researchers will ask 150 adults with ankle fractures to fill out the new Turkish questionnaire along with two other standard forms. The goal is to make sure the Turkish version is accurate and reliable for use in clinics and research. No treatments or medications are involved.
