How long after ankle ligament surgery can you walk normally?

You can usually walk normally after 3 months after ankle ligament repair. Ankle ligament repair is generally used for the treatment of ligament damage in ankle sprain or ankle fracture, the main purpose is to repair the damaged ligament and maintain the stability of the ankle joint. The ankle joint needs to be immobilized with a cast for 3~4 weeks after ankle ligament repair. At this time, the ankle joint is not subjected to force as much as possible, but its nearby joints, such as the knee joint and the toes, can be moved appropriately. After 3~4 weeks, you can rely on crutches and other devices to walk on the ground, but you should not put all your weight on the damaged ankle joint. 6 weeks later, you can discard the crutches and walk slowly. 3 months later, you can resume normal walking. If there are any uncomfortable symptoms after ankle ligament repair, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time for early and standardized treatment. Patients are advised to consult their treating doctors for the exact time of normal walking.
