- if u having cast , do isometric contraction of ankle muscle to avoid post fracture stiffness
- after opening of cast go for contrast bath followed by active movements of ankle.

Hi...
As you were aware of the fracture was any cast done for it...how good is your ligaments...
I would suggest you not to weight bear on the injured untill said...
As if you keep bearing weight then there will be load on the fracture site...disturbing the healing and moving the fragments happens which might give rise to complications later...
It will take minimum of 6 to 12 weeks to heal completely...so be patient...
Hope this is helpful for you
