In an undisplaced lateral malleolus fracture, walking usually starts after 4–6 weeks, depending on pain and X-ray healing at 4–5 weeks, you may be allowed partial weight bearing with a walking boot or ankle brace not full unsupported walking for attending a marriage, you can usually stand and walk short distances with support but avoid prolonged standing or dancing
