Ankle?: Just based on your description, I'm thinking this is your ankle. You need to follow your surgeon's orders. In most situations, microfracture of a lower extremity joint requires several weeks of non- or limited weight-bearing. If I can help, then join my care team at www.healthtap.com/dr-clarkeholmes
