Did you have ankle ORIF surgery? I’d love to hear your recovery story.
I’m a UCLA senior researching recovery outcomes after ankle fracture repair surgery (ORIF), especially complications, rehab, and what recovery actually felt like beyond the textbook version.
If you’ve had this surgery, I’d love to hear:
- How bad was the pain?
- When could you walk again?
- Any complications (infection, stiffness, hardware irritation, needing hardware removed)?
- What surprised you most about recovery?
If you’re open to sharing de-identified medical records or imaging reports, that could also be incredibly helpful—but even just sharing your experience would mean a lot.
Feel free to comment or DM. Thank you 😊
