ankle/fibula injury..

Okay..I was playing football and I rolled on my ankle badly. I was running and I tried to stop and dive backwards to catch a pass, and my right ankle gave out and didn't bend. I broke my fibula and dislocated my ankle. How long will it take to heal fully? How long will I have crutches? And the cast? I got a boot for it the day I went to the hospital. I haven't been to an orthopedic surgeon yet..

I did the same thing. I am 5 months in and I amd doing some weight bearing squats. I find it hard and a little painful to run though. but I really want to sprint.

With a fracture and a dislocation, it will likely be 4-6 weeks in the boot and or crutches - hard to say until you see the ortho.
