How long it takes to walk normally with a comminuted fracture of the ankle needs to be judged according to the patient’s condition, and there are individual differences, so it can’t be generalized, and it usually takes at least 3 months. Usually, patients with comminuted ankle fracture need timely surgical treatment, most patients can be discharged from the hospital in 4~6 weeks after surgery, and the fracture healing time needs at least 3 months, so patients can walk normally for at least 3 months. During the recovery period, patients need to have X-rays repeated every 3 months for 1 year. However, due to individual differences, some patients have slower recovery and may need 5 months or even longer to walk normally. Meanwhile, the affected limb should be elevated appropriately after the operation and the condition of the limb should be closely monitored. Excessive weight bearing should be avoided within 1 year after the operation to avoid loosening of the internal fixation, which may affect the recovery. You can go to the doctor for review about 1~2 years after the operation and choose to take out the internal fixation according to your own recovery situation. Patients with comminuted ankle fracture should take good care of themselves under the guidance of the doctor and choose the walking time reasonably after the doctor’s evaluation.
