This will depend on procedure performed. I recommend you discuss with your surgeon the process for your particular case.
Following ankle joint surgery, treatments may include immobilization with a cast or brace, pain management, physical therapy for rehabilitation, and gradual return to weight-bearing activities. It's crucial to adhere to post-operative instructions provided by your surgeon and participate in prescribed rehabilitation to optimize recovery and regain function.
Management post ankle surgery depends a lot on the type of surgery and recommendations from the surgeon will be the best ones to follow. Surgeries with screws and nails may require you not to weight bear. While other types of surgery need early PT. It would be best to follow the recommendation of your surgeon.
