How soon you can walk after ankle fracture surgery needs to be judged according to the healing of the fracture, and cannot be generalized. If there is no fracture non-union or delayed healing after ankle fracture surgery, the patient can walk on the ground with the help of crutches in about 6 weeks, but the bone growth is not complete at this time, so it is not possible to carry weight completely. However, at this time, the bone is not fully grown and cannot be fully weight-bearing. If the bone is fully weight-bearing, it will easily cause the internal fixation to loosen, break or fracture again. If the patient’s healing condition is not optimistic, walking and weight-bearing after ankle fracture surgery should wait until about 3 months later. If the patient needs to walk, he can walk on the ground after 6 weeks if there is bone scab growth on the X-ray. However, it is important not to put full weight on the fracture at the beginning, and be careful to move around on crutches, otherwise it will affect the healing of the fracture and may even cause the fracture to be dislocated again.
