Ankle fractures usually take at least about 1-3 months to return to normal, and if the damage is more serious, it may take longer, up to six months or even a year. Therefore, after an ankle fracture, it is important to go to the hospital in time for an examination and judge the treatment according to the specific situation of the bone fracture. If the fracture is not serious, there is no obvious displacement and there is no obvious abnormality in the joint space. If the fracture is not serious, there is no obvious displacement, and there is no obvious abnormality in the joint space, you only need to splint, external fixation brace or cast, and then go to the hospital for a review after 4-6 weeks, and if there is no obvious problem, you can put weight on crutches, and gradually increase the weight-bearing activities at a later stage, and then slowly recover. If the fracture is more serious, surgery is needed in time, and active functional exercise and weight-bearing activities after surgery are beneficial to the healing of the fracture.
