Anita,
Welcome to the merry-go-round. There are always questions. By coming here you will find many answers as well as more questions.

The ankle has to be kept stabile and the leg can not support the full body weight for a few weeks as the site heals. During that time a walker is used and the patient gets physical therapy to strengthen the muscles.
