Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The AOFAS midfoot score will be used as our primary study parameter.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Tegner score, VAS FA score, patient satisfaction measured with a Likert scale, if there are complains of the screw and whether the screw has been removed, whether there are complains of the non-injured foot, if refracturing has occurred, whether shoe adjustments where necessary. Furthermore, we will assess the level of pain, swelling, deformity, range of motion (ROM) of the foot/ankle, varus/valgus hindfoot alignment and eversion strength by physical examination. Gait and plantar pression distribution analysis will be done with a footscan and we will assess the degree of fracture healing with an X-ray.	—
