Bimalleolar ankle fracture on 9/28/22, and I'm finally starting to walk with partial weight and crutches after 7 weeks post-op. I'm fortunate to already have had a trusted PT who gave me more info on what to expect at this stage of recovery. My surgeon never mentioned issues with the nerve pain I had within the first week and potentially developing temporary plantar fasciitis as I start walking. This is all a long-winded way of saying I'm really glad I also came across this video (never thought to put an insole in the boot) and I'll be sharing it with her. Thank you!

I had same bimalleolar fracture 7 weeks ago ,May 2023. I am home , litterally bedridden, foot highly elevated, no weight bearing at all. I have 2 plates and 4 clips. In August I was supposed to travel to USA/ I live in Australia / .I knew I can't travel but didn't have idea how long it takes to heal and what to expect. The surgeon who operated my ankle told me openly that its impossible, as the foot won't be ready for it. In August the foot will be slowly adjusting for short walks involving lots of swelling which is part of healing and again require lots of rest. I was told to reconsider trip after 12-14 mnts. Those fractures takes aproximately 12-18 mnths even 2 years to heal . Is slow process. All those 7 weeks I also wasn't allowed to do any physio beside moving toes gently. I have great very thorough physio who wrote letter to surgeon to see how my healing is progressing and see if we can begin with foot rehab and ankle. Im going for review next week and hopefully I will be able to start proper physio. I thought the physio will start straight away but my physio said we can't do much at all until surgeon confirms the ankle is ready for exercise . He was right! I have been going through so much pain some days without moving leg at all. Its true GP couldn't give me any advice.

@@BeeBee-tb2it 12-14 months seems excessive. I would think as long as you're fully weight-bearing that you would travel relatively fine. I traveled by plane in February (~4 months post-op) and wore compression socks to reduce any swelling. Granted, my flight was a *lot* shorter than what yours would be. The only thing I regretted was forgetting my cane at home because it was a lot of walking on my departure dates since I had a layover. I went to a pharmacy near my hotel to get a second one and did just fine. But yeah, other than what your surgeon said regarding travel I had the same restrictions. Honestly my PT and one of my coaches at my gym were way more helpful than the surgeon. My PT told me to start going back to the gym to do upper body until I was out of the boot, and otherwise practice my home exercises while I'm there too. It was more for my mental health than anything and I'm glad she gave me that clearance and that the gym owner was very accommodating. I was discharged from PT last month since she was going on maternity leave but told me to keep doing what I was already doing (strength training and yoga). Now I'm back to my pre-injury activity level as far as frequency per week, but still building that strength and mobility back up. No kidding when they say it takes a long time, but it will get there, as frustrating as it may be.

@@pamheward8819 Tell me about it. I'm close to a year out now and literally counting the days to get this metal removed. The nerve sensitivity is what gets to me, plus I've developed plantar fasciitis in both of my feet. I do my stretches from PT and I've gone back to my workout routine, but it is really stubborn. I only just got back to doing full squats with a barbell about 2 months ago because I could not control my foot to stay flat. It has been such a struggle and I've even broken into tears in the gym a few times because I get so frustrated.

Up to 1 year for recovery? What a relief. I wish my surgeon told me that. I’m a parkour athlete and had my surgery August 19, 2022. Dorsiflexion is limited/painful even with doing PT everyday. My doctor said I’d be 100% and back to competing after 3 months but there’s NO WAY😂 Thanks for the video, I’ll give myself 6 more months.

If you broke your ankle and had surgery for ligaments repairs most likely 8months to a year or more recovery period but it still defends on severity of injury and your therapy. Don’t rely on GP or doctors too much, physiotherapists and surgeons know more when it comes to recovery. I had ankle surgery 3months ago with multiple ligaments and tendon repairs. I can stand and walk now without crutches and the flexibility of my ankle is improving. I have exercises everyday prescribed by my therapist and a monthly schedule to my gp. I learned a lot from different videos like this. I had my injury Nov 2022.

I'm recovering from a broken ankle, cast has been off for one week now, 7 weeks after injury. Thanks for the video, very informing. About the crutches, I strongly disagree. I used forearm crutches from the hospital, first few days was hell and my hands and shoulders ached. But after struggling around (no weight bearing on the ankle) for 2-3 weeks, I began to enjoy moving around easily on the crutches and found it a great cardio workout to go for a 1km walk each day. I'm living in an attick, so had to use the stairs at least 5 times per day, at the start it was a mission, but I got good at managing them. I summary, I highly advise anyone to use crutches (not underarm but forearm) bear through the pain of the first week and trust me you will enjoy them more and more. So much more convenient than wheel chairs or knee wheelers imo.

It feels good to take the boot off, and sit your foot elevated on a pillow after being encased for so long.

Here with a fractured left ankle, sprained right ankle, sprained left elbow. Crutches were painful due to having to put weight on my other injuries; luckily my roommate has a knee scooter. Just fell off the thing (the seat rotated due to a missing bolt that I just reordered today, and I fell sideways onto my fractured left ankle which is in a cast) it led to severe pain/swelling/numbness.. I'm currently elevating it and took half of a pain pill (which I haven't taken in days). I'm praying I did not re-injure it or delay my healing... I have another appt in 6 days so I hope all will be well and I'm progressing in a good direction. Having a hard time being cooped up inside, but trying to do sedentary crafts & reading and staying grateful. Will be following recovery tips to do all that's in my power. Thank you for the video!!

Hi.. i am from Nigeria. Thank you for the video.. am super glad to see this video hoping it will be helpful to me in time to come.. please i had an ankle injury on my right leg one month ago and the big bone (Tibia) came out of my flesh causing a big wound, while the small bone (fibula) got broken. But after the surgery the (fibula) have been fixed with some irons to keep it strong while it heals which was stitched with no visible wound but the (Tibia) was fixed back to it usual position and was stitched a little which closed only 10 percent of the wound leaving 90 percent of it opened. Because the doctor said is not good to stitch it all closed because the flesh that the bone popped out from was already dead before the surgery so he cut them off meaning i have to wait for the flesh to grow again.. please my QUESTION IS: can i do these exercise while the wound is still open and not yet totally healed or should i wait till the flesh wound is totally healed before i start this exercise? Please a Quick reply will be so HELPFUL 🙏. i am in need of the help. Thank you.

Good tips. I am in a cast for a month (10 more days to go!), then will transition to the CAM boot. Physical therapy will start two weeks after that. I bought an elevated toilet seat, a knee scooter, and an iWalk crutch. I use the knee scooter to get around the house and while out shopping once a week. I use the iWalk crutch in conjunction with my regular crutches to be able to get up and down our outdoor deck stairs. The iWalk gives me a base for my injured leg so my casted leg isn’t swinging in the wind. I suck at just using regular crutches. Also bought a cover for my toes on my casted leg and a cushioned pad for the knee scooter. Paying attention to nutrition- have been taking the vit D, B1, B6, B12, and a multi with iron. Drinking a protein drink with 30 gm of protein. Doing non-weight bearing exercises every day (in bed leg raises front, inner, rear, and outer) and chair cardio a couple of times a week. Out of work on FMLA and waiting on short term disability. Thanks for all the info. Tells me I’m on the right track.

Its been a month & fracture didn't heal yet. When I wear boot on top of brace, its hurting & feels like that's probably causing delay in my healing. But when I am just wearing brace, no pain when I am just resting. I am not walking & using knee rover. Any suggestions doc?

This is the best video and very informative and helpful. I was riding mountain bike, my left foot landed on an quite uneven ground surface when I tried to come off the bike with almost no speed. I was diagnosed with minimally displaced fractures of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th metatarsal bases. Luckily I don’t have lots pain although I had severe pain right away on the scene. But I do have lots of swelling and blue bruises a couple days after the injury. I have been using the boot you mentioned. For precaution, my doctor has ordered mri to rule out of lisfranc ligament injuries (I did have quite bit of bruises in the middle of sole maybe that is why I needed a mri?) Have you had an experience where you may treat lisfranc ligament injuries without surgeries?

I'm coming out the boot next week and I'm terrified. I live in the UK and the NHS is no help when it comes broken bones. I was told to wear boot for 6 weeks then learn how to walk in a shoe, no follow ups or exercises just get on with it. I did around 10,000 steps ahead before, how would you go about increasing your steps? I've been doing some leg exercises this last week to re build muscle but I don't think I'm going to be able to go straight from maybe 500 steps a day to 10,000. Plus I live in a hilly area and I know hills are going to be extra painful

Daily exercises with stretch band help my ligaments gain strength again and every after exercise (including standing if advised by physio) I do the RICE. I have vitamins for joints (MSM , Dimethyl sulfone). If you’re still in post surgery slab or cast, do some light leg exercise it will keep the nerves going but don’t overwork your injured leg.

The surgeon told me I would be back to walking in 6 weeks after my cast off on may 1. Started PT on may 10 and my foot is still swollen and very stiff to this day. Pt is horrible I leave crying every time I go because my PT pushes my foot back and forth so hard even if I’m crying and saying I’m in pain she keeps pushing on it because she says it’s too stiff for my age. Im suppose to be a 100% weight bearing by the end of June but I can’t even bend my big toe. Idk how in the world I’m gonna be walking it hurts so bad😢

I've broken my right ankle twice in 2 years. Second time required surgery. I've used two different scooters & this time around I used a SwivelMate & it is head & shoulders above the other one because of how tight a turn it can make. It folds up. It's hugely expensive to buy but I rented one for about what I would have paid for a cheap one & have been really happy with it. I don't really want a scooter after this is all over so happy to ship it back. Shipping was free both ways. You just pay by the week & then you pay 12 bucks for a UPS pickup. What a deal. I'd do it again exactly the same way. It's the Mercedes Benz of scooters. If you have a boot with an air pump, unfortunately because it's in the front it will press into the pad of the scooter which is not great. I didn't realize that when I got my boot. I would have asked for a different one. Too bad they didn't put it on the side.
