Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Pedobarography: Size of vertical component of reaction force of fractured and non-fractured foot (symmetric load) after 6 months	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Joint adaption during anatomical reposition (CT data of fractured and non-fractured foot in mm2, angle: degrees) 3 months postop., AOFAS Score (American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society) to assess pain function,gait and range of motion at 3, 6,12 and 24 months SF-36 Score to assess quality of life with the evaluation of physical and mental health and EQ-5D Score (3,6,12,24 months), complications during 24 months, period of disability during 24 months Muscle structure Parameters (Fascicle Angle, Fascicle Length)	—
