Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: The incidence of distal lower extremity fractures in National Basketball Association (NBA) athletes continues to increase. There is a paucity of data regarding return-to-play (RTP) rates and performance after sustaining foot fractures in these athletes. The purpose of this study is to quantify RTP rates and performance in NBA players after sustaining a foot fracture.
UNASSIGNED: Sixty-two NBA athletes suffered foot fractures between 2005 and 2021 according to publicly accessible online data. Each athlete was matched to a control player based on age at start of career, age at index injury year, body mass index (BMI), and position played. Performance statistics from 3 seasons prior and 3 seasons following the index injury season were recorded.
UNASSIGNED: We found that players who suffered foot fracture injuries are expected to make a full recovery and reach their previous level of performance within three years. 100% of players treated nonoperatively returned to play; meanwhile only 90% of players who were treated operatively returned to play. This difference is statistically significant.
UNASSIGNED: NBA athletes have a high RTP rate after sustaining a foot fracture. Players may experience an initial decrease in playing time and performance when returning to play, however, these variables were found to return to baseline over time. After three seasons, player statistics returned to baseline in mostly every category, including player efficiency rating (PER). We found that players are expected to make a full recovery and return to their previous level of performance, regardless of whether they were treated operatively or not. Players treated nonoperatively returned to play at a rate of 100% meanwhile those treated operatively returned at a rate of 90%. Therefore, it is our recommendation that players opt for nonoperative treatment when possible.

摘要：
UASSIGNED：美国国家篮球协会（NBA）运动员下肢远端骨折的发生率持续增加。这些运动员的足部骨折后，关于重返比赛（RTP）率和表现的数据很少。这项研究的目的是量化NBA球员在足部骨折后的RTP率和表现。
UASSIGNED：根据公开的在线数据，在2005年至2021年之间，有62名NBA运动员遭受了足部骨折。每个运动员在职业生涯开始时根据年龄匹配一个控制球员，指数伤害年份的年龄，体重指数（BMI），和位置发挥。记录了指数伤害季节之前3个赛季和之后3个赛季的表现统计数据。
UNASSIGNED：我们发现，脚部骨折受伤的球员有望完全康复，并在三年内达到其先前的表现水平。100％接受非手术治疗的球员返回比赛；同时，只有90％接受手术治疗的球员返回比赛。这种差异具有统计学意义。
未经授权：NBA运动员在足部骨折后有很高的RTP率。玩家在返回游戏时可能会经历游戏时间和性能的初始减少，然而,发现这些变量随着时间的推移回到基线.经过三个赛季，玩家统计数据在大多数每个类别中都返回到基线，包括玩家效率等级(PER)。我们发现，球员有望完全康复并恢复到以前的表现水平，无论他们是否接受手术治疗。非手术治疗的球员以100％的速度恢复比赛，而手术治疗的球员以90％的速度恢复比赛。因此,我们建议玩家在可能的情况下选择非手术治疗。
