Ankle Fracture Repair Recovery & Home Physiotherapy

Recovering from an ankle fracture repair can be challenging. Patients often experience swelling, stiffness, muscle weakness, and fear of bearing weight. Returning to walking, work, or sport safely requires structured rehabilitation.

At Post Op Home Physio, our HCPC-registered physiotherapists specialise in home-based rehabilitation for ankle fracture patients. We help you restore strength, mobility, and balance while supporting a safe return to everyday activities — all within the comfort of your own home.

Book a home ankle fracture physiotherapy session today — we visit patients across London, including Wimbledon, Lewisham, Kensington, Barnet, and Haringey.

What is Ankle Fracture Repair?

Ankle fracture repair involves surgically stabilising broken bones in the ankle joint using plates, screws, or pins. Surgery is often required for:

  • Displaced fractures where bones are misaligned
  • Unstable ankle fractures
  • Fractures involving the joint surface
  • Complex or multi-fragment fractures

Surgery is recommended when:

  • The ankle is unstable or misaligned
  • Non-surgical treatment cannot ensure proper healing
  • The patient wishes to return to active mobility or sport
SERVICES

Why Physiotherapy is Essential

Physiotherapy is critical after ankle fracture repair:

  • Restores range of motion and flexibility
  • Reduces stiffness and swelling
  • Strengthens ankle and lower leg muscles
  • Improves balance, stability, and proprioception
  • Supports a safe return to daily activities, work, and sport

Without guided rehabilitation, patients risk chronic stiffness, weakness, and instability.
