Ankle fractures are common, debilitating and usually treated with immobilisation using a foot-ankle brace (walker). Emerging evidence suggests that a less restrictive brace may reduce recovery time without increasing the risk of complications, and patients tend to prefer ankle stirrups. However, evidence supporting their non-inferiority remains limited and inconclusive. Thus, the aim is assess if an ankle stirrup is non-inferior to a standard walker in reducing pain and function measured by the Manchester-Oxford Foot Questionnaire (MOXFQ) three months after ankle fracture. The hypothesis is that ankel stirrups align better with patients preferenes for less immobilising braces and offer sufficient stability while the fracture heals. Secondarily it may lead to faster recovery of function, return to work and reduced cost. The sample size of a maximum of 1400 patients allow us to assess non-
