Article Synopsis
- Psychosocial factors like depression and catastrophic thinking may have a greater impact on long-term disability after ankle fractures than physical impairments, but there is limited research on how these affect patients with specific types of fractures.
- This study examined 104 patients who underwent surgical treatment for rotational ankle fractures with posterior malleolar fragments, aiming to find correlations between factors like demographics, physical condition, and psychological well-being, especially depression, with their recovery outcomes.
- By analyzing long-term outcomes using validated questionnaires, the research could help improve understanding of the role psychosocial factors play in recovery from ankle fractures, potentially guiding better post-operative care.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the most reliable classification system for clinical outcome studies to categorize post-traumatic-fracture-osteoarthritis.
Methods: A total of 118 orthopaedic surgeons and residents-gathered in the Ankle Platform Study Collaborative Science of Variation Group-evaluated 128 anteroposterior and lateral radiographs of patients after a bi- or trimalleolar ankle fracture on a Web-based platform in order to rate post-traumatic osteoarthritis according to the classification systems coined by (1) van Dijk, (2) Kellgren, and (3) Takakura. Reliability was evaluated with the use of the Siegel and Castellan's multirater kappa measure.
