After removing the plate from the ankle, it is recommended to avoid walking on the ground and other functional exercises for one or two weeks after the surgery. Because the ankle surgery wound is not fully stabilized after the removal of the plate, if you walk on the ground at an early stage, it may affect the wound, resulting in abnormal bleeding, or even breakage of the stitches, which may cause the wound to split open. One week after the surgery, after the wound has healed a little bit, you can start the functional exercise of walking on the ground, and after the stitches are removed two weeks after the surgery, you can walk on the ground completely and normally. If you want to do strenuous exercise, you have to wait three months after removing the plate before you can do strenuous exercise, because the screw channel in the plate will not be able to close completely until three months or so, and then the fracture is considered to be completely healed, and it is no problem to do strenuous exercise.
