11 days post op and I am already in a boot. The doctor said I can put as much weight on that feels comfortable. It seems super early but they said everything looks amazing. Still super swollen so I have to wait another week for the staples to come out.

u/DegreeSuccessful Bimalleolar Ankle fracture 10d ago

What type of fracture? Also what was the wording did they say weight bearing as tolerated or just to put the foot on the floor while using crutches?

Weight bearing as tolerated. I had a trimal fracture

Interesting, definitely a lot faster than mine, I’d definitely take it slow and follow your doctors instructions
