Ive seen everything from 6 weeks to 2 years. Whats your overall health like
As a physician, I can provide you with general information about the recovery timeline for a broken ankle surgery. However, please note that individual recovery times can vary depending on various factors, including the severity of the injury, the type of surgery performed, and the individual's overall health and adherence to the rehabilitation process. It is always best to consult with your own healthcare provider for personalized advice.
That depends on several factors such as the type of surgery and fracture, any medical illnesses that you have and your age.
A foot and ankle specialist may wait one to three weeks for swelling to resolve before an ankle is surgically repaired. After surgery, patients may be non weight bearing for a period anywhere from 4-6 weeks to a few months depending on the severity of the fracture. A graduated rehabilitative period is prescribed during the postoperative period to allow the patient to regain movement, strength, and balance. Full recovery can range from 3 months to a year depending on the severity of the fracture.
Please direct this question to your surgeon. Recovery from surgery depends on individual and is different from person to person. As well as the surgery and Techniques used.
A normal healing time for most fractures is about 6 weeks. That being said, you may have stiffness and pain with swelling that can last for a few months up to a year after surgery/trauma. Your surgeon should tell you what steps are necessary to get you back to a more normal state of activity and weight bearing
Recovery will vary depending on the extent of the surgery. I recommend you discuss with your foot and ankle surgeon for your particular case
Depends on what is broken.To run and jump could be 4 months to a year.
