A member asked:

Hi, i broke my ankle six months ago, a fib tib fracture. had osteochondral defect as well a month ago, but still looks deformed and is painful.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Healing takes time: I don't know exactly what had or had not been performed, but it sounds like it was quite an injury. Subchondral fractures in themselves are plenty to deal with. Such a recovery can take a year. Such injuries require quite a regimen of physical therapy. Such concerns should be conveyed to your surgeon.
