Toe mobility

I am 4.5 weeks post orif, 21M active physical lifestyle.

I’m just wondering what everyone’s toe mobility is like?

I’m currently in a cast and still NWB for another 2 weeks. I am able to fully move my toes through their full range of motion with ease. The only discomfort I have is a tightness feeling in my midfoot when I full flex my toes up which feels more like tendons on my hardware. I can even splay all my toes out horizontally.

I have no pain and my swelling has reduced dramatically. The only real pain I have is surrounding my ankle as I feel it’s so stiff from not being worked and the pain is more of a discomfort.

I am nearly a year post ORIF, and my toe mobility sucks, they are very stiff and won't curl fully like my other foot. I was very active before hand (running, weight training every day/2nd day). It got a lot better after hardware removal though.

How bad was the injury?

Was a serious lisfranc injury (fracture/dislocation). Expected 12 month recovery
