Hi, weight bearing depends on fracture nature , if it is communited fracture it may take longer to put full weight on it ( upto 3 months) depends on fracture healing. Follow advise from your doctor. Do ankle and foot exercises that will help in blood circulation.

You can start putting full weight now. Walk with walker for another 3-4 weeks then leave walker.
You can join office from march.
