Growing evidence supports a shift from inpatient to outpatient surgical treatment for ankle fractures. The primary aim of this study was to investigate the effect of inpatient versus outpatient surgery of ankle fractures on patient-reported outcome utilizing the Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS) at 12 weeks following surgery. Secondary aims were to report patients’ satisfaction, adverse events, pain, physical function, and bone healing between inpatient and outpatient treatment.
