The time required to walk again after a bimalleolar fracture surgery depends on various factors such as the severity of the fracture, the type of surgery, age, overall health, and rehabilitation progress. Generally, it takes around 6 to 12 weeks to heal the fractured bones and to start putting weight on the affected foot again. However, it may take several months to fully recover and return to normal activities, including walking without any support. During this time, it is important to follow the instructions given by your doctor, including proper rest, rehabilitation exercises, and any necessary precautions to prevent further injury. It is also essential to attend regular follow-up appointments with your doctor to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.
