Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am recovering from ORIF for a Trimalleolar ankle fracture that occured 11/30/11 (Surgery date 12/6/11). My surgeon/ortho said there was no need for repair of any tendons or ligaments; however, they are pulled and the achilies tendon is VERY tight. My ortho said I should be walking, without crutches or any support by next week and driving the following week. I am in a walking boot
It is quite common after ankle fracture.Physiotherapy will be very useful to regain the range of movements. Consult a physiatrist and he will direct you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
