Hi,

I suffered an open fracture and acute dislocation to my right ankle about 2 weeks ago, which was treated with ORIF surgery. Since then, I have been placed in a short leg cast with instructions to return to my treating physician in 6 weeks, however no information has been given to me regarding recovery time, physiotherapy requirements etc..

The fracture was really quite bad, with my ankle joint basically shattered into many fragments of bone, the dslocation was also severe, as I was only approx. 15 minutes away from losing my foot due to blood supply restriction, and there is obviously a lot of soft tissue an ligament damage. I was wondering if anyone can give me a rough idea on the recovery time (basically how long until I will be able to go back to work in hosplitality which involves being on my feet for 10+ hours at a time)

Any help anyone can give me would be very much appreciated!

Thankyou..
