Not just yet: You should discuss this with your orthopedic surgeon certainly not before 3-4 months with a sig fx many medial malleolus fx's need surgery need ankle rehab i usually use an ankle brace called an aso-evo which has helped pts for many years now.

4-6 weeks: Ideally over next 4-6 weeks you would work with trainer or therapist to restore strength and motion in that ankle. Once it is equal with other side will be able to return, advisable to wear ankle lace up or take ankle this season.
