This study will utilize a previously published outcome scoring system that attempts to evaluate important factors in the recovery from this injury. This measurement tool published by Leppilahti et al utilizes a combination of factors including pain, stiffness and footwear restrictions as well as objective strength values, to arrive at an overall score. Statistical analysis using a students t test will be applied to the outcome score means of the operative and non-operative groups. P values of less than 0.05 will be considered significant. The application of this scoring system to a prospective randomized trial comparing operative and non-operative treatment of this condition will hopefully shed some much needed light on this therapeutic dilemma.
