Generally speaking, it takes 6 to 8 weeks for a woman with an ankle fracture to get off the ground with crutches and begin partial weight-bearing exercises. Patients with ankle fractures are usually treated conservatively or surgically depending on their condition. Due to the different degree of injury, the healing time of the fracture will be different, and how long it takes to get down on crutches will also vary from person to person. For patients with minor ankle fracture and no displacement, conservative treatment can be taken, with cast or brace fixation for 6~8 weeks; for patients with comminuted fracture and displacement, surgical treatment should be taken, with incision and reduction internal fixation surgery, and some patients need cast or brace fixation for 6~8 weeks after the surgery to maintain the stability of the ankle joint. After 6~8 weeks after the fracture, the results of radiographs show the formation of bone scabs, you can remove the cast to support the crutches down to the ground, under the guidance of the doctor to start part of the weight-bearing exercise, 3 months later, if the fracture healing is good, you can go to the crutches and gradually transition to full weight-bearing walking. It should be noted that if the degree of comminuted fracture is more serious or the fracture healing is not good, the time of weight-bearing activities should be delayed, and the specific time should be based on the doctor’s advice, so as not to walk too early, resulting in secondary damage to the fracture.
