Starting physio post ankle ORIF
Currently recovering from a trimal fracture with dislocation. Had a variety of plates, screws and “buttons” put in to repair the fracture and damage to my syndesmosis ligament.
I’m just over 2 weeks post surgery, had my cast off on Friday and moved into the air-boot which has been an amazing improvement in my mood and comfort! I now have another 4 weeks NWB, and then should begin PWB for a further 6 weeks.
At the moment I am just getting on with the ROM exercises I was given before discharge, and some additional stretches I found on YouTube for my calf, quad etc. I’m interested to know when people started with physio sessions post op?
For context, I am in the UK and currently waiting on an NHS referral through my GP service, which I’ve been told could take up to 2-3 months. I don’t think I want to wait that long so considering having private sessions in the meantime.
