Advice for rehabilitation of ankle after Calcaneus Fracture.
Hi I recently injured myself in a fall which resulted in a fractured heel (calcaneus). I had the accident while working in Turkey and have remained in Turkey for treatment (possible bad move). I had the accident 6 weeks ago and spent the first 5 weeks in a cast. So I have now had the cast off for one week and I'm needing some rehabilitation and physio. I have started some physio treatment here which is just ultrasound on my leg and nothing to do with my ankle. I'm not sure if they know what they are doing and need to know if I should continue with the treatment or seek something else. What other physio work would help? I am still not weight bearing and probably won't be for another week or two. Is there any exercises someone could recommend me doing? Also if I started physio treatment in say a month (when I'm back in Europe) would that be too late to be as effective? I would appreciate any advice or help. I'm finding it hard in this part of Turkey to get any quality medical care. DSC_0471.JPGDSC_0472.JPGDSC_0476.JPGHere are my CT scans from just after the accident. My latest x-ray showed good position and bone union so I'm happy with that, just need to get strength back in my ankle and full range of movement.
