Ankle surgery, as with any surgical procedure, is not always a happy event.
When a severe injury like this occurs, there are many things that can go wrong during the surgery process.
The chances of an ankle fracture increase greatly if you do not have the proper pre-operative and post-operative care.
Your doctor will make sure that your fractures are not due to sports related injuries or falls.
A good surgeon will work with you as a team to help you achieve your goals.
You should avoid excessive activity after the operation, which can actually slow down your healing process.
