A member asked:
Can i play rugby again if i have broken my ankle, or will it be more likely to break again?

Yes: As long as it has healed completely and is in good alignment, you should be able to return to rugby and the bone should be as strong as it was before it was broken.

Return to play: Once the ankle is fully healed, you are not at an increased risk to rebreak the ankle.
