For a broken ankle itself? Absolutely nothing. they don't compensate for an injury. They compensate for the long term effects from the injury. So even with the surgery, if there are no ongoing effects, they will not pay out any money.

Table 17.12- Loss of Function - Lower Limb - Ankle

Only one rating may be given for each ankle from Table 17.12. If more than one rating is applicable, the ratings are compared and the highest selected.

Each bullet (•) represents one criterion. In order for a rating to be established for Table 17.12, follow the "ands" and "ors".
Table 17.12 - Loss of Function - Ankle Rating Criteria

Nil - Normal range of motion without pain.

Two - Recurrent sprains of ankle.

Four - Essentially normal range of motion but pain now present on a daily basis and/or with movement.

Nine - Dorsiflexion no more than 10°; or
Plantar flexion no more than 15°; or
Ankle unstable* on clinical exam.

Thirteen - Dorsiflexion no more than 5°; and
Plantar flexion no more than 10°.

Eighteen - Ankylosis in position of function.

Twenty-Six - Anklylosis in an unfavourable position; or
A flail** joint.

Hello,

Anyone know what the typical amount awarded for a broken ankle? Both the tibia & fibula were broken.  Surgery required with screws and plates put in on both sides.

Thanks.
