How long it takes to walk on the ground with an external ankle fracture needs to be based on the patient’s condition; if the condition is not too serious, it usually takes about six weeks to walk on the ground, and if it is more serious, it will take eight to ten weeks.
If the condition is not too serious, for example, the simple fracture is relatively stable, there is no obvious displacement or displacement is light, it takes about six weeks, you can walk partially, but it is recommended to use crutches; if the condition is more serious, for example, a comminuted fracture, that is, the external ankle is not yet stable, then it takes 8 to 10 weeks to get off the ground.
Normally, you should strengthen muscle exercise and enhance nutrition, which can accelerate the healing of the fracture and thus restore the ability to walk normally.
Relevant patients are advised to consult their doctors for a comprehensive judgment of the specific time to get down to the ground, and if there is any discomfort, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time.
