Will you have to use a walking cast for a broken ankle?
yes you would need a walking cast if you have a broken ankle (New person) Most likely. I just broke my ankle in two spots and had surgery to put two screws in. I had a soft cast for 3 weeks about and then a regular cast for 2 weeks and then I had a walking cast that I COULDN'T walk on for 2 weeks, and after that I got the OK to walk in my walking boot, for probably about three weeks. If you follow everything the doctor says, your process will be much faster and you won't mess up your surgery and have to have surgery again (I.e. Your screws come loose from walking too early and they need to open you again to tighten them)
