At present, there is no authoritative evidence to show that a few days after the calf plate removal without crutches, due to the different physical condition of the patient and the recovery, so there is no standardized time, usually takes about a week to a month. Calf plate removal is usually done within one year or one and a half years after surgery, when the fracture has completely healed, and only the hole of the screw is left in the fracture segment after removal of the plate. For patients who are in good shape and recovering relatively well, they may be able to go without crutches sooner. On the contrary, the time will be lengthened. After steel plate removal surgery, even if you can do without crutches, do not perform strenuous exercise, such as running, climbing, squatting, jumping, etc., which may aggravate the condition of the lower leg. Weight-bearing walking is prohibited, and oral calcium tablets or calcium-rich foods are recommended to promote fracture healing. In addition, you can do microwave physiotherapy or ankle functional exercises.
