Put Weight Ankle after ORIF surgery.

Posted , 2 users are following.

I had ORIF surgery on my Trimaellor ankle injury 5 weeks ago and im partially weight bearing. Yesterday i accidentally put full weight on my foot while going up a small step. i did feel it.. and am worried sick ive damaged it.. have looked on the bone healing charts and it looks like it may be ok. Has anyone else done this?

    I have the exact same fracture and 5 weeks out and have done the same thing without any damage. words of wisdom my doc said it is going to be very painful when i start walking again. so hang in there! You are not alone!
