No but you may not: have normal gait or walking until fully healed. Depending on the type of surgery and why you had it also plays some role as the peroneal tendon plays some role it stabilizing the outside or lateral part of the ankle if the longus tendon. Speak to your surgeon concerning any of your questions.
