I have an avulsion fracture in my right ankle and its been 1 week now;how long should i wait before starting activity again? (i am a high lvl gymnast)

Hard to say: This depends on where in your ankle/foot the avulsion was and how severe, like any alignment issues. Your best bet is to review this issue with the doctor who made your diagnosis: hopefully an orthopedic physician.
