Ideally you should wait for 3 months before weight bearing can be started.
Final decision would be taken by the operating surgeon.

Ideally the opinion of weight bearing is decided by operating surgeon based on the severity of fracture. Satisfactory fixation and alignment are more important. This is a badly shattered fracture in the joint.

Please be patient and follow what your operating surgeon says.
