hi,
the lower limb plaster takes from 6-8 weeks depending upon the injury. if the ortho finds it is healed then he will surely remove within the duration of 6-8 weeks.
post that you can perform some small exercises like ROM exercises, static quadriceps and static hamstrings, straight leg raise and ankle toe movements.
I hope this will help you regain the strength and perfrom well.
I wish you a speedy recovery and a bright future.
thank you
