Comminuted ankle fractures usually heal in about 3 months. However, functional exercise of the ankle joint is required to fully recover. At the same time, each person’s physical condition is different, and the severity of the fracture is also different, so the healing time and recovery time of the fracture will also be different. If the ankle fracture is not obviously displaced, it should be fixed in plaster for 5-6 weeks, and avoid weight-bearing activities and ankle joint activities during the fixation period. 6 weeks later, if the fracture line is blurred, the plaster can be removed and the functional exercise of the ankle joint can be done, and the ankle joint can be walked with semi-weight-bearing. 2-3 months later, if the fracture is completely healed, the ankle joint can be fully weight-bearing. If the ankle fracture is significantly displaced, surgery is required and the recovery time will be longer, usually about 3-6 months. After surgery, you need to actively perform functional exercises of the ankle joint to prevent joint adhesions from occurring and affecting the function of the ankle joint. In general, if the fracture line is blurred and scabs are formed about 2 months after the surgery, you can ask for double crutches for weight bearing. 3 months or so, if the fracture is completely healed, then you can walk with full weight bearing.
