If the fracture is less than 8cm above the ankle joint, it may affect the function of the ankle joint because it participates in the composition of the ankle joint in the later stage. Therefore, it is recommended to fix it with plaster after manual or surgical fixation.
It usually takes about a month to remove the plaster and practice the ankle joint function. Starting to walk on crutches in about two months, a normal diet is enough, and oral bone-setting drugs can promote fracture healing. You can walk normally in about 4 months. I hope the above answers are helpful to you. If you have any questions, please ask.
