just wait untill fractured heal...for time being slowly get range movement ankle and partially weight bearing if more than 6 week..and ostechondral injury cannot be seen in xray or ct scan..even sometimes mri also can be miss..u definitely have it as your medial malleolus fractured involving ankle joint which have cartilage over there..

Thanks for the heads up. I just got discharged. Back home resting. I will ask doctor when I go follow up next week.

Thanks to all.

Hi, how are you? Did you recover from injury after years?
Still any pain?

Hey there. I recovered but somehow I feel the ankle connection isn't perfect. The surgeon says it's actual position but when I compare with my right ankle, looks a bit different. However there's no pain whatsoever. Can walk and run like normal. Still, it doesn't feel the same la. Maybe due to the ankle positioning. May see a bone setting chiro to re set it correctly. Or maybe my right ankle is the one in wrong position. Can never know. Haha

Experience wise, I was a bit anxious and cautious in the early stages so it took me 6 to 7 mths to shift from dual crutches to single then totally off.

good to hear that, did you went for physio & rehab session? and, you can run without pain now? and, doesn't suffer in any osteochondral injury like what mentioned by abuyon?

Yup lots of it. I even do my own rehab at home via my condo gym. I notice the most important part of physio and rehab is building back the flabby leg muscles that went flat due to long period of inactivity. Since the ankle didn't move a lot, it became harden so I had to use my bedstead head as a soft base to press my ankle to 90 degrees. U know nowadays, bed stead is like soft cushion.

Then when i go my gym condo, I do a lot of cycling and do the ankle weight bearing. So when I go hospital rehab, I can do the walking training. There more ppl ma so can jaga me if I fall. After 5 mths I went back to work, using 2 crutches, then a mth later 1 crutch. By end of November, I stopped using them. Some ppl say 4 mths enough for full weight bearing, but I dare not take risk. Better be slow poke than having life long pain.

And nope, no issues with osteochondral. Yup I can run already, though not the same as last time. Not that fast anymore. But if a dog chases me, I'll definitely push to the limit haha.

I just removed the metal plating last August. Pain wise, when u walk a lot, you'll feel some stress to the ankle and fibula bone. I won't say it's painful, just a bit sourish. My doctor attributes this to lack of exercising so the ankle is not used to strong or continuous movements. Haha

hi, thanks for explaining in details, may i know which hospital & doc you were seeing?

almost more than 6 months, im still suffering from pain

I was in Penang Lam Wah Ee. Dr Khaw.

U mean u had your operation, 6 mths later still painful? My friends told me 3 mths can remove tongkat but I scare die. Anyway my 2nd operation was 5 mths, remove 1 screw. That screw connects my tibia to fibula bone bone. It wasn't all that painful, just very slight coz my fibula bone felt restraints. After the operation, felt so relieve. Then 1 yr from that remove balance screw. Come I show u my pictures.

Painful is definite thing coz bone is recovering, muscles still weak. Do you mind sharing your injuries for us to know.
