What are the steps in recovering from an ankle fracture and torn ligaments?


Question:
2 screws were put into hold the fracture and ligaments were repaired in surgery.

Answers:
the bone will heal fine on its own, even stronger than before.

sadly, your ligaments can only be repaired in surgery, sometimes not even then.

i had to give up skateboarding because i neglected my ankles, so be safe. give it time and take the right steps to healing properly.

Other Answers:
A lot depends upon the severity of the fracture and the ability of your doctor to reduce it in surgery back to normal again.

But as a general rule, 6-8 weeks non-weight bearing in a hard cast followed by 4 weeks in a walking cast.
