Question
Greetings Adam-    Three weeks ago I had surgery on my ankle and lower leg, (two seperate bones either side of ankle each with two seperate fractures + shattered lower leg just above ankle).  I was an active person prior to the surgery and cast.  Is there any website for exercises I can do in the meantime?  I appreciate any help you can offer.  I forgot to ask my surgeon about this.

Answer
This is really a question for your surgeon. I don't know your history and would hate to give you improper advice.

You are probably safe with upper body exercise and exercise of the uninvolved leg. Although, you should still get clearance from your surgeon.
