How long after ankle fracture surgery

After an ankle fracture, it is necessary to actively complete the examination. If there is an operation pointer, surgery is required. Open reduction and strong internal fixation can help the fracture heal and reduce the occurrence of traumatic osteoarthritis. If conservative treatment is performed, plaster fixation can be performed, which also takes 6 to 8 weeks. At that time, X-rays are taken to check the healing of the fracture. If the healing is better, you can take off the cast and gradually get out of bed to walk, but you need to gradually increase the walking time and weight bearing strength with crutches. You also need to exercise the rehabilitation function of the ankle joint, step by step, to prevent violence. Mainly for ankle flexion and extension exercises.
