Farctured Growth Plate

Farctured Growth Plate

I fractured the growth plate in my ankle, but it was a clean fracture so just a little crack and i was in a cast for 4 weeks. I got it off on tuesday. It is now saturday and i started walking on it without crutches at all on wednesday? was that a bad idea? it hurts not but i can still walk on it the place where i fractured it hurts quite a bit.

Hello,

With rehab and continuation of your walking you will fight the stiffness and slowly your range of movement will increase.

The only thing you should make sure is not to put complete weight on the fractured ankle till you are symptom free.

Walking is not a bad idea but do not stress yourself with more aggressive physical activities.

Take care!
