Please consult the doctor who has done the surgery. Follow up with physiotherapy of the ankle.
Do not walk barefoot
Fracture seems to be uniting.
Mild pain will continue as the foot bears all the weight.
Swelling will continue for long. Dont be bothered by it. After consulting with your treating doctors your father can also start exercising
Proper examination is necessary.
Please followup with your surgeon
