I recommend you to address this question with your surgeon.
Generally helpful
Physical therapy can help shorten recovery time after any surgery. I recommend you discuss with a foot and ankle surgeon (podiatrist) for your particular case
Did you have surgery? Did you simply break your foot and were casted? It is dependent on the patient, his/her health (overall), and the nature of the injury of surgery that will be deciding factors in whether or not you will need PT after surgery
