It depends on what type of ankle surgery and which ankle it is. The right side is more of a concern when driving an automatic transmission. Consult with your surgeon to confirm.
That is a question with many answers, for example, what kind of surgery, how is your recovery, do you need therapy, etc. that answer should be given to you by your surgeon. however, in the moment you feel well enough to drive, again all is relative and a specific answer is not possible.
Really depends if its the right or left foot and its bone or soft tissue surgery. Generally right foot bone surgery around 4-6 weeks
It depends on the procedure. Anywhere from 4-8 weeks on average
That depends on the surgery and is a question for your surgeon
That depends on what was done.
Hi! if it is your left ankle, the car is not stick shift and not taking prescription pain pills you should be able to drive. If it is the right ankle, once everything heals approximately 8 weeks/when you start to walk on it and enter physical therapy.
Hello, Thank you for your question. We have to evaluate you and take foot x-rays if needed.
I recommend you discuss with your surgeon for your particular case
My advice to you is speak to your doctor about your concern.
