How long can crus fracture move after the operation

The length of time a patient can start moving after surgery varies with the individual and severity of the fracture.

Usually, if the fracture is not particularly severe and the recovery is good, the patient can walk gradually with the aid of a brace within 15 days after surgery. For more severe comminuted fractures, it may take about 2 months after surgery to walk with the aid of a brace. Generally, the patient can walk without the brace within 3 months after surgery. The recovery phase after surgery is critical and requires gradual recovery as directed by the doctor. Early after surgery, the doctor instructs the patient to perform some basic leg exercises, which help improve blood circulation and reduce muscle atrophy. As the wound heals and recovers, the patient can gradually increase the amount or intensity of exercise.
