Hey y’all, so Im 20 and had a trimalleolar fracture with syndesmotic rupture happen on May 21. I had surgery May 30 to put in 11 screws, 1 plate, and 2 syndesmotic suture buttons. As of today, August 9, I’m 100% weight bearing (Yay!). I have a terrible limp though.  I was just wondering how long were y’all in physical therapy for with a trimalleolar fracture? Iv been going to PT ever since I was 2 weeks post op, so for about 8 weeks now. Im going back to college in a couple weeks so just wanting some input on how much longer this will last! 

Thank y’all for any responses smile

    I had a trimal break around the same time. I was ordered PT for 4 weeks twice a week and didn’t start till 10 weeks post op. Not sure if I’ll have to go longer because I’m still walking with one crutch
