Hairline fracture
Hi, I got my ankle fractured a month ago. Doctor had done this casting and asked me to keep it for a month. It's now been a month and got it removed. The fracture appears to be healed. May I know after how long can I get back to doing my regular walking and exercising?

Hello, it will need an evaluation. But in general if there are no other injuries, 4 more weeks and you can gradually start walking and exercising. Should not take more than that. But yes, go slow, do not jump into heavy exercising immediately. Increase duration and intensity week by week.
Hope this helps
