Our user asked: "59 year old female good health - fell on vacation and broke my ankle. ORIF closed done 6/7/10. Currently on no WB. When do I start PT? "

Ask a PT Response: "It is probably best to consult with your surgeon to determine when you could start therapy. Many of my patients who have conditions similar to yours usually begin therapy when they are cleared for partial weight bearing."
