What is the avarage recovery time for aleft ankle lateral malleolus open reduction internal fixation, laterall deltoid ligament repair? i was non weight bearing for the first 8 weeks. how long will i be on crutches after starting to weight bearing?

You should be in a proper regimental physical therapy program To help strengthen the extremity to protect yourself from further harm. You would be able to start bearing weight when you’re able to protect yourself from being injured and not before hand. Do not rush it. It’s all about getting range of motion and strength back to the extremity
