Ask ur doc : If the x-rays show a healed fx its safe to walk. Your doctor will tell you when it's fine. 4-6 weeks is average healing time. Fibular fx can take as much as 16 weeks if there was a small amount of displacement.

Ankle fracture: You should be able to but you need to confirm healing with follow up xrays before you attempt anything.
