Table 2 Patient co-produced interview questions and prompts

The two key questions will be:

What has it been like for you since you injured your ankle? Prompts: Tell me more about that, how did you feel, what did you think?

What is important to you about your recovery from the fracture? Prompts: What is most important to you? What are you hoping for?

Other questions may be useful to guide the interview such as:

Could you tell me about how you fractured your ankle?

How did you/ are you managing with the injury?

- Work

- Personal and social life

- Feelings and mood

What was most difficult time for you?

How are you feeling/ what are you thinking/ about your recovery?

How has your injury impacted on you?

Are there things you could do before, but you can’t now?

Did/ do you have any worries or concerns about your injury or recovery?
