Weight bearing after ATFL repair

2018-06-19 03:46:07
Sir i had my ankle surgery in aiims Procedure: double bundle atfl+cfl reconstruction using 25%peronius longus. i was told not to have weight bearing on my foot.But i happened to put a step of weight bearing on my foot(toes) while going to bathroom, very next day of surgery. i m fearful could that have pull-out or loosen up the screws,anchors or newly constructed ligament? i want to know do i need to be concerned about it, or its okey to have a weight bearing step just next day of surgery.

Just a single step won’t be a problem. Make sure you won’t load it for atleast 6 weeks
