@@Ath-et9xm Day 3 post surgery is the worst, it just gets better from there. I didn't need painkillers after a month (just took paracetamol and ibuprofen). I'm fully healed and functional, there's still some swelling and stiffness but I can do pretty much everything as before. My advice is that you try to be as active as possible despite crutches/cast. Best of luck!
@@Ath-et9xm I was allowed partial weight bearing (walking) after 8 weeks (I'm sure it was safe to do earlier but I listened to my surgeon). 1st week I used 2 crtuches to walk, second week 1 crutch and then 0. I started physiotherapy after they removed the splint so around 4 weeks after surgery.
For say a non displaced lateral malleolus fracture of the tip of the fibula, excess fluid in the syndesmosis, and thickening of the ligaments…what are the best treatments?
Yes, very informative. I had the ORIF, Tibia Fibula and toe bone surgery with the insertion of the rod, and one nerve damage I am more clear that there are few bones that are not damaged.
lateral malleolus fracture, thats what i have. can i walk with my broken foot? and it have broken all the way trough, it has detached from my fibula. can i still walk, i have many classes ahed.
me too. I have a plaster cast on. you need to go to a doctor to get a cast for 5 weeks. I also can't walk, it hurts to walk. don't walk on it okay? because you might cause a worse break and then for sure you will need surgery.
It depends on your fracture but anything from 4-6 months to be recover to about 60%. Within 6 weeks of surgery you can start therapy and walking with a boot. I’m about 15 weeks post surgery I’m recovering from a trimalleolar 😢 I’m in the 10% of cases so mine was bad lol
@@fooffie meaning it’s not that common of an ankle injury only 10% of people suffer from these fractures. Mainly elderly from bad falls and motorcycle accidents! Or really hard ankle twists.
@@fooffie also speedy recovery to you! I’m already walking and doing my exercises still swell up not that much pain. Get some compression socks it’ll help with swelling when you’re able to walk!
@@destroyerx2513 Yeah I am walking Thanks for the advice Is about the compression socks ISO badly want this swelling to go down they said it could take up to a year Today There's exactly 90 days since myTriple ankle break. I did read somewhere that I thought it was 7% Oh wellBest of luck to you also you have a good one.
Absolutely amazing content! I had ORIF surgery on a bimalleolar ankle fracture and was curious so this was extremely informative.
Thank you! Glad it was useful 😊
How are you now. I had the same and its day 3 post surgery and its pain and swelling

@@OriginalUsername9000 thank you. After how much days did you started walking? After removing bandage, did you do physiotherapy?

minimal splintage: a firm bandage or stirrup brace is applied mainly
for comfort until the fracture heals.
Thank you sir
Just broke my ankle (medial malleolus) and the upper part of the fibula by the knee 3 nights ago
is post traumatic arthritis temporary?
Yes, very informative. I had the ORIF, Tibia Fibula and toe bone surgery with the insertion of the rod, and one nerve damage I am more clear that there are few bones that are not damaged.
How do you find out if you fracture your ankle and what does it look like
X-rays, possible ct scan if it is your talus.
Great explanations thank you.
You're welcome 😁

lateral malleolus fracture, thats what i have. can i walk with my broken foot? and it have broken all the way trough, it has detached from my fibula. can i still walk, i have many classes ahed.

Take rest for four weeks after that you can walk
Howmuch time to recover ??

This is not about Ankle fractures. This video is about leg bone fractures. It doesn’t speak about the ankle bone or Talus. Should change the title.
