Suggest Treatment For Trimalleolar Ankle Fracture
I am recovering from ORIF for a Trimalleolar ankle fracture that occured 11/30/11 (Surgery date 12/6/11). My surgeon/ortho said there was no need for repair of any tendons or ligaments; however, they are pulled and the achilies tendon is VERY tight. My ortho said I should be walking, without crutches or any support by next week and driving the following week. I am in a walking boot
