This study is a single center randomized controlled trail in which we compare outpatient and inpatient patients with an ankle fracture requiring surgical treatment.~Primary outcome: The primary objective of this study is to compare the 12-weeks patient reported Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FOAS).~Secondary outcomes: Multiple other analysis are planned, but being secondary, they are hypothesis generating. They will include, but are not limited to, cross-over, unscheduled contacts, adverse events, pain, general health, time to return to work and socio-economic consequences between the two groups.
