Syndesmotic fixation for Weber-C ankle fractures — Credit: Mohammed R et al. via Indian J Orthop (Open-i (NIH)), CC BY

How early do you let them weight-bear after ankle fracture fixation?

Post-ORIF of an unstable ankle fracture — how early do you allow weight-bearing, and does syndesmotic fixation change your protocol? The WAX trial and others support earlier mobilisation in selected patients. Curious how people balance early function against fixation quality and patient factors.
