Figure A shows a patient after an open reduction and internal fixation of a bimalleolar ankle fracture.

Egol et al showed that by nine weeks, the total braking time of patients who had undergone fixation of a displaced right ankle fracture returns to the normal, baseline value.

Egol et al, also found that 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.
