As with the operative group patients will be weight bearing as tolerated on their injured side with crutch assistance for six weeks. Similarly, subjects will be allowed to remove the Air Cast Boot and perform active plantar flexion and dorsiflexion up to neutral with physiotherapy supervision. At six weeks the patients will have their Cast Boots removed and dorsiflexion stretching exercises will be begun. A gentle resistance program will also begin at six weeks along with dorsiflexion stretching exercises. Follow up appointments will be 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year and 2 years following the initial injury.
