Up to 1 year for recovery? What a relief. I wish my surgeon told me that. I’m a parkour athlete and had my surgery August 19, 2022. Dorsiflexion is limited/painful even with doing PT everyday. My doctor said I’d be 100% and back to competing after 3 months but there’s NO WAY😂 Thanks for the video, I’ll give myself 6 more months.

@golgicomplex1179 Жыл бұрын

If you broke your ankle and had surgery for ligaments repairs most likely 8months to a year or more recovery period but it still defends on severity of injury and your therapy. Don’t rely on GP or doctors too much, physiotherapists and surgeons know more when it comes to recovery. I had ankle surgery 3months ago with multiple ligaments and tendon repairs. I can stand and walk now without crutches and the flexibility of my ankle is improving. I have exercises everyday prescribed by my therapist and a monthly schedule to my gp. I learned a lot from different videos like this. I had my injury Nov 2022.

Bimalleolar ankle fracture on 9/28/22, and I'm finally starting to walk with partial weight and crutches after 7 weeks post-op. I'm fortunate to already have had a trusted PT who gave me more info on what to expect at this stage of recovery. My surgeon never mentioned issues with the nerve pain I had within the first week and potentially developing temporary plantar fasciitis as I start walking. This is all a long-winded way of saying I'm really glad I also came across this video (never thought to put an insole in the boot) and I'll be sharing it with her. Thank you!

I had same bimalleolar fracture 7 weeks ago ,May 2023. I am home , litterally bedridden, foot highly elevated, no weight bearing at all. I have 2 plates and 4 clips. In August I was supposed to travel to USA/ I live in Australia / .I knew I can't travel but didn't have idea how long it takes to heal and what to expect. The surgeon who operated my ankle told me openly that its impossible, as the foot won't be ready for it. In August the foot will be slowly adjusting for short walks involving lots of swelling which is part of healing and again require lots of rest. I was told to reconsider trip after 12-14 mnts. Those fractures takes aproximately 12-18 mnths even 2 years to heal . Is slow process. All those 7 weeks I also wasn't allowed to do any physio beside moving toes gently. I have great very thorough physio who wrote letter to surgeon to see how my healing is progressing and see if we can begin with foot rehab and ankle. Im going for review next week and hopefully I will be able to start proper physio. I thought the physio will start straight away but my physio said we can't do much at all until surgeon confirms the ankle is ready for exercise . He was right! I have been going through so much pain some days without moving leg at all. Its true GP couldn't give me any advice.

@j-toz Жыл бұрын

@@BeeBee-tb2it 12-14 months seems excessive. I would think as long as you're fully weight-bearing that you would travel relatively fine. I traveled by plane in February (~4 months post-op) and wore compression socks to reduce any swelling. Granted, my flight was a *lot* shorter than what yours would be. The only thing I regretted was forgetting my cane at home because it was a lot of walking on my departure dates since I had a layover. I went to a pharmacy near my hotel to get a second one and did just fine. But yeah, other than what your surgeon said regarding travel I had the same restrictions. Honestly my PT and one of my coaches at my gym were way more helpful than the surgeon. My PT told me to start going back to the gym to do upper body until I was out of the boot, and otherwise practice my home exercises while I'm there too. It was more for my mental health than anything and I'm glad she gave me that clearance and that the gym owner was very accommodating. I was discharged from PT last month since she was going on maternity leave but told me to keep doing what I was already doing (strength training and yoga). Now I'm back to my pre-injury activity level as far as frequency per week, but still building that strength and mobility back up. No kidding when they say it takes a long time, but it will get there, as frustrating as it may be.

@@pamheward8819 Tell me about it. I'm close to a year out now and literally counting the days to get this metal removed. The nerve sensitivity is what gets to me, plus I've developed plantar fasciitis in both of my feet. I do my stretches from PT and I've gone back to my workout routine, but it is really stubborn. I only just got back to doing full squats with a barbell about 2 months ago because I could not control my foot to stay flat. It has been such a struggle and I've even broken into tears in the gym a few times because I get so frustrated.

I've broken my right ankle twice in 2 years. Second time required surgery. I've used two different scooters & this time around I used a SwivelMate & it is head & shoulders above the other one because of how tight a turn it can make. It folds up. It's hugely expensive to buy but I rented one for about what I would have paid for a cheap one & have been really happy with it. I don't really want a scooter after this is all over so happy to ship it back. Shipping was free both ways. You just pay by the week & then you pay 12 bucks for a UPS pickup. What a deal. I'd do it again exactly the same way. It's the Mercedes Benz of scooters. If you have a boot with an air pump, unfortunately because it's in the front it will press into the pad of the scooter which is not great. I didn't realize that when I got my boot. I would have asked for a different one. Too bad they didn't put it on the side.

@@BeeBee-tb2itmy accident was in April, so not much before yours. At this stage I also wasn't doing physio, and moving my toes hurt. I didn't wear the boot 24/7 though, only for getting about. It feels good to take the boot off, and sit your foot elevated on a pillow after being encased for so long. You need to be careful when you first sleep without it, but that first time feels fantastic.

Good tips. I am in a cast for a month (10 more days to go!), then will transition to the CAM boot. Physical therapy will start two weeks after that. I bought an elevated toilet seat, a knee scooter, and an iWalk crutch. I use the knee scooter to get around the house and while out shopping once a week. I use the iWalk crutch in conjunction with my regular crutches to be able to get up and down our outdoor deck stairs. The iWalk gives me a base for my injured leg so my casted leg isn’t swinging in the wind. I suck at just using regular crutches. Also bought a cover for my toes on my casted leg and a cushioned pad for the knee scooter. Paying attention to nutrition- have been taking the vit D, B1, B6, B12, and a multi with iron. Drinking a protein drink with 30 gm of protein. Doing non-weight bearing exercises every day (in bed leg raises front, inner, rear, and outer) and chair cardio a couple of times a week. Out of work on FMLA and waiting on short term disability. Thanks for all the info. Tells me I’m on the right track.

Hi.. i am from Nigeria. Thank you for the video.. am super glad to see this video hoping it will be helpful to me in time to come.. please i had an ankle injury on my right leg one month ago and the big bone (Tibia) came out of my flesh causing a big wound, while the small bone (fibula) got broken. But after the surgery the (fibula) have been fixed with some irons to keep it strong while it heals which was stitched with no visible wound but the (Tibia) was fixed back to it usual position and was stitched a little which closed only 10 percent of the wound leaving 90 percent of it opened. Because the doctor said is not good to stitch it all closed because the flesh that the bone popped out from was already dead before the surgery so he cut them off meaning i have to wait for the flesh to grow again.. please my QUESTION IS: can i do these exercise while the wound is still open and not yet totally healed or should i wait till the flesh wound is totally healed before i start this exercise? Please a Quick reply will be so HELPFUL 🙏. i am in need of the help. Thank you.

This is the best video and very informative and helpful. I was riding mountain bike, my left foot landed on an quite uneven ground surface when I tried to come off the bike with almost no speed. I was diagnosed with minimally displaced fractures of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th metatarsal bases. Luckily I don’t have lots pain although I had severe pain right away on the scene. But I do have lots of swelling and blue bruises a couple days after the injury. I have been using the boot you mentioned. For precaution, my doctor has ordered mri to rule out of lisfranc ligament injuries (I did have quite bit of bruises in the middle of sole maybe that is why I needed a mri?) Have you had an experience where you may treat lisfranc ligament injuries without surgeries?

To visit my orthopedic surgeon was nearly $1,500 per visit. That was only to have him tell me that the x-rays look good, and to come back in 4 weeks for more x-rays. He never actually looked at my leg. I had a lateral malleolus fracture. Not having insurance, I had to stop going in, and cancelled my last appt. He didn't tell me that breaking an ankle you usually sprain ligaments, too, but I've basically had to learn anatomy myself and now I believe I probably did some good damage to 1 or 2 tendons, plus of course some ligaments. Apparently you can't see ligaments on x-rays, so why isn't it just normal procedure to do am MRI in the first place? I've read several studies which concluded that MRIs should be standard with ankle/lower bone breaks. I had an area on my foot which kept releasing blood, but when addressing this, that's when the Doc said it's just because of the sprain. He didn't clue me into what a sprain was, but I educated myself. Anyway, I'm grateful for KZfaq. I can't afford any of those shoes or anything, but I see the value in them. I'm having continued pain on the top center of my foot. That has hurt all along. It looks like tendons and ligaments are there, and I'm hoping there isn't an issue that can only be resolved with surgery, because that's not going to happen. I consume protein shakes with collagen powder every day, and just started the carnivore diet. Have long been doing The Root Cause Protocol, which is basically about getting nutrients balanced, especially so the body can heal itself. I'm also getting in the sun as much as possible. No longer taking D, because of a not-great liver. Ty for your videos.

Almost 11 years ago that I broken my left ankle from a bad car accident in early March 2012. A little bit of 5 years ago that I torn ligament in my right ankle on October 19,2017 just outside of my apartment. I even thought that I broken it when I tried to stand up a couple times. I even called 911 and even my mother,too. My ankle swelled up and even was bruised all over the food and even the ankle. It was the worst sprained ankle that I ever had. I used a walker. It took me 2 weeks of not driving my car. It was a little bit sore from a sprain. When I had my broken ankle that I was in a wheelchair for 2 months. I even used the walker a little bit but, once I learned to walk a little bit more. I think of having a broken ankle is the worst in the pain. I didn’t scream when I felt the pain a couple times. I used a wheelchair for someone for over 300 pounds but, I was a little bit lighter back then. During my car accident that I weighed 291 pounds just a little bit over 11 years ago. Even that I was at my parents house for my recovery from my broken ankle. I was using my father’s bedroom. My father said that I’m a good spirit during the whole ordeal on having a broken ankle. When I had that broken ankle that I could easy drive a car. It took me a little bit over 3 and a half months to drive again. I went from wearing a splint cast for 2 weeks, fiberglass cast for 4 weeks, a boot cast till early July but, I did weened it off during that month. I remembered seeing my left leg lost some muscle in it. It took me awhile to get back to normal. I even didn’t go to the Y for 4 months since before the accident.

I waited til the 6 wk mark and the best solution to heal fast was to ice behind my knee it ices the veins and nerves 1st before it hits your ankle/foot and was more effective!!! ALSOOOO massage behind your knee while your leg is lifted in the air it will instantly drain your lower leg ankle and foot it was awesome to get blood flowing better!!! Which is the best way to heal a bone is blood flow so the bones gets nutrients!!!! I promise it'll speed up your recovery and make PT easier if you need it later and I will add I did all this with no pain meds at all and had very minimal pain bc it healed so fast!!!

Would you suggest an ankle brace after your cast has been removed? My foot is still half way swollen after a total of 8 weeks. I have pretty good movement .

Absolutely, I would do an ankle brace for everyone of my patients for around 6 weeks if they need it. I like mcdavid or zenith 3 level ankle braces

All the creams have such a strong smell triggers my asthma. It’s 4 weeks since grade 2 ligament tear and it isn’t healing. Part of the reason is due to asthma I can’t take anti inflammatory pills. Also immobilising it was not an option. And non podiatrists in my country but the orthopedic did aske me to put on a compression sleeve. Rest been watching videos like these and have got a good brace.

Seeing all this is so scary especially while 7mnths pregnant here I thought I'd be good to go by the time baby is here but from the looks of it I'll only be about half way thru recovery 😣

Hello, please answer me. I have a comminuted fracture of the 5th metatarsal. The doctor follows up with a cast. Can a fracture heal with a cast? There is no damage to my tissues, my joint spaces are normal. I'm going through a bad time psychologically.

83 25 A question. I saw a pic. SUBTALAR JOINT THE BODY'S STEERING WHEEL. Sprain can displace either bone or tendon. Idk if talus can be displaced. More likely it is cuboid.But I am not sure. Here is why. Let's say that a healthy foot has a flat planar tabular horizontal position. So neither inversion or eversion. Now mine calcaneus digs on the right foot left portion of space under the heel. My guts tell me that half of the foot that excludes metatarsals and toes is not vertical straight.I can tell by the way I hit the ground and the way Achilles and both side bumps of the calcaneus are zig zagged to the right. Could be cuboid. Just wanna be sure. It is not from the weight of the body but a long time ago..sprain. Heavy man fell on my back. Basketball. I can run. But man it can rip off Achilles. I do lifting foot exercises. No tib bar involved. Raise relaxed reps. A man chiropractor told me it is a more mental (movement) image. But it is a weak opinion to my intuition. Like placebo. I don't require imaging magic resonance or X/ct.. It is obvious how I dig in sandals etc. It is not pronation. I never had flat feet or weak feet until I sprained my ankle. and I have one on cd.. of bursitis. Bursa has pain, but is it negligible. Sad part is hamstring pain, squeezed nerves and right leg falling suddenly during the walk. Could be some tear or blood vessel under the knee on the fibular side, little above ankle. My stomach hurts when I try to run. Cold sensation. Even on warm days. Or with preheating exerc. Idk if it is possible to "iron" flatten diagonal connecting small foot finger and left part of under heel calcaneus. No plate surgery involved. Some sort of manipulation. Thanks.

Road or path of my ankle pain(neuropathy) is from hitting the ground among point where fibula ends and in area that width of finger covers, dent nearby cuboid... to my stomach. Sometimes pain moves along the lateral side, like the front of the foot is steered towards the left. I have hopes, although I know that small tendons that underwent most of the stress in the sprain will never recover. Did I mention nerve hittng lateral side of hips and muscles, rendering 'inert, numb" lateral side of leg?

I have a undisplaced lateral malleolus. I have been on non weight bearing for 10 weeks. When will i be able to walk. I really need to know. Its already tough having to go to college with a broken ankle.

How's it been? I broke my lateral malleolus 3 weeks ago and I also shouldn't put weight on my ankle.
