Is it normal to be unable to walk on a talus fracture?

Dr. David Bloome answered

Specializes in Orthopedic Surgery

Yes, initially: Depending on the type of talus fracture, many are treated with initial non-weightbearing with or without surgery. Usually, patients are full weightbearing by 3 months.
