Gain strength in leg: After surgery and immobilization, your muscle get weak. Even after the bone is healed, which can take 3-6 months, you will have lingering weakness in the muscles. Please excercise and strengthen your muscles so they are close to the other leg in strength before resuming soccer. If you return too soon you increasee chances of reinjury. Final decision should be with approval of your sureeon.
