After surgery for ankle fracture, a balanced and comprehensive diet is needed to help the patient recover from the fracture as soon as possible. In the early post-operative period, the patient needs to eat light foods, such as cabbage and celery, to help the patient’s gastrointestinal peristalsis and reduce constipation because the patient’s activity is reduced. In the middle and late post-surgery period, the fracture site needs bone scabs to grow, so the patient should be told to eat as much food with high calcium content as possible, such as soybeans, lean meat, sea rice, shellfish, and also more dairy products and soy products, all of which are beneficial to the healing of the fracture.
