    I am 6 months post orif. Weber fracture. I have very limited dorsiflexion movement. My ankle feels locked at the front, middle location. Surgeon says just keep working on it. Went for a second opinion and he said "no magic bullet". This is my first broken bone at age 69. I have had many soft tissue injuries. I am hoping to get an MRI in a few months to see if there us a soft tissue problem. In the meantime, I am trying to walk it off.
