After removing the plate, it is recommended to walk with the help of crutches, at this time, you can walk slowly to exercise, but you should pay attention to the exercise to avoid excessive exertion, avoid prolonged exercise, otherwise it will make the fracture location of pain and edema phenomenon. After removing the plate and resting for 2 to 4 weeks, most patients can walk normally.

If there is no abnormality, you can carry on your normal life and activities. Do not run or jump, especially jumping from a high place, which is particularly damaging to the heel bone and may even lead to re-fracture.
