A member asked:
Is it ok to walk if i have a talus fracture?

Generally, no: It depends on the type of talus fracture, but most talus fractures require non weight bearing for 8-12 weeks while they heal. Many talus fractures also require surgery, so make sure you see an orthopaedic surgeon to make sure your fracture is being treated appropriately!

Talus fracture: If it is an acute fracture. I would recommend you don't.

All depends on: the type of fracture that is present. Off weight bearing though would minimize chance of causing more damage.
