Question
HI
I was wondering if you had any guidelines about resuming driving after a broken ankle with ORF surgery to both sides.Is there something official or do I need certain movement back to be able to drive.
Thankyou

Answer
Impossible to answer Jackie without knowing exactly why was broke, if or how many screws there are, their location, if there was a plate or fusion and on and on. Each one is different. each surgeon is different. If it's a basic ORF with minimal complications, as in none, 2 weeks. East though, no mashing the brake:)
