If you or a loved one has fractured a bone from an accident, contact Mike Agruss Law for a free consultation so we can help you recover from this experience and get fairly compensated.

An ankle fracture occurs when one or more ankle bones breaks or cracks due to a high-energy impact. The severity of the fracture depends on how many bones are broken, if they are displaced, and how severe the break really is. Most ankle fractures can heal in more or less six weeks. This is if the treatment consists of a short leg cast, high-top tennis shoes, or crutches.

When the treatment for the injury is surgery due to displaced bones, the recovery time will be even longer and followed by physical therapy. However, physical therapy is a good idea for any type of ankle fractures so that one can restore movement in the ankle and not simply allow it to heal itself.
