According to the first referenced study by Egol et al, appropriate braking time returns at a point 6 weeks after initiation of weightbearing after treatment of lower extremity long bone and periarticular fractures, as examined with a driving simulator. No differences were seen in return of braking time between periarticular fractures and long bone injuries. The second reference by Egol studied only operatively treated ankle fractures and found that time to appropriate braking returns at 9 weeks postoperatively. Interestingly, no significant association was found between the functional scores and normalization of total braking time.
