Plaster Cast Versus DJO Walker in Paediatric Ankle Injuries

The study is a longitudinal cohort study of all eligible ankle injuries per the eligibility criteria presenting to Sheffield Children's NHS Fountain Trust. These children and their parents/carers are presented with an information sheet regarding the study and are then invited to enter the study. Once consented - by appropriately trained research and/or clinical staff - those recruited are treated in either cast or boot on the basis of block randomisation. Patients are followed up per protocol and outcomes completed by patients and clinicians. Study information is kept securely for future analysis and write up.
