Figure 3 Comparison of intergroup and intra-group pre- and post-treatment AOFAS (American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society) values. Intra-group comparison demonstrates that the median AOFAS values after treatment were found to be statistically significantly greater than those obtained before treatment (p#<0.001) across all 3 groups. The intergroup comparison found that AOFAS values prior to treatment were similar (p*>0.05), but the AOFAS values after treatment were statistically significantly different amongst the 3 groups (p**=0.002). The post hoc analysis performed after the conclusion of the study showed a statistically significant increase in the median AOFAS value for group 2 compared to group one after the intervention (p++=0.001). Furthermore, group one and group 3 did not significantly differ (p+>0.05), and groups 2 and 3 also did not significantly differ (p+++>0.05). The values are presented as median (IQR), with pre-AOFAS values coded in light blue, and post AOFAS values coded in light green. The values were examined using the Kruskal-Wallis test for 3 groups. Dunn’s test was used as post hoc testing to determine between which groups the difference was observed. Pre-treatment values are shown in blue and post-treatment values are shown in green. Group 1 represents patients treated with a plaster cast, Group 2 represents patients using crutches, and Group 3 represents patients using a walking boot.
