How do i recover from leg fracture in enckle portion?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Time: Ankle fractures take at least 6-8 weeks for bone healing to take place with correct alignment of the fracture. With proper treatment of common ankle fractures, most patients can begin weight bearing and physical therapy within 2 months of the injury. It's important to follow all the instructions of your surgeon so you can get back to an active lifestyle!
