Ho SWL, et al. - Authors conducted a rigorous driving assessment program consisting of both off-road and on-road tests to ascertain whether these patients are able to pass a standard driving test, even before weight bearing has been initiated. A standard driving test can be successfully passed by the patients with isolated, surgically treated right ankle fractures at 6 weeks post-surgery, even before weight bearing has been initiated. They noted a correlation between the ability to drive and improvements in the SMFA scores and braking times.
