Depends...: Did your ankle fracture require surgery?Are you in a cast? I assume u didn't have surgery on your clavicle and are in a sling or figure of eight ( or both).If you're ors said u cannot put weight on your ankle/ foot ( whether in a cast or boot)then walking will be difficult w/ a fractured clavicle.If this is the case a wheelchair or 'kneeling' scooter can be used; once WB in boot life is easier!

Ankle fracture: Your attending physician should have reviewed that . Crutches are out , so a wheelchair is your likely choice . There are some neat devices to prop your knee on to allow motion without using a wheelchair. See your podiatrist for this and other ideas . Good luck.
