Hi! This will be discussed at your pre-op appointment. Bone takes 6-8 weeks to heal and soft tissue 4-6 weeks.
Hello, Thank you for your question. We have to evaluate you and take foot x-rays if needed.
You can go to the gym AFTER YOU HEAL from your ankle surgery. The type of surgery you have and the post-surgical instructions you have from your surgeon will determine when you may exercise after surgery.
It will depend on what procedure(s) are performed. I recommend you discuss this with your surgeon for your particular case.
Depends on the surgery and what is being fixed, I would speak with your surgeon on your concern.
