An evaluation of the measurement properties of the Olerud Molander Ankle Score in adults with an ankle fracture

Abstract

The Olerud Molander Ankle Score demonstrates sufficient measurement properties and is likely to be primarily measuring the construct of patient reported function following ankle fracture. Further research should evaluate the relevance of other domains to individuals recovering from and ankle fracture, such as social participation and psychological wellbeing. The development of a core outcome set would be advantageous to standardise outcome measurement collection in this area.
