Crutches cost about $15 to $40 for a basic pair or up to $100 or more for deluxe forearm crutches. Physical therapy might be necessary for regaining strength and balance. Several sessions per week at $50 to $75 per hour for six to eight weeks could cost $1,000 or more.
If you are undergoing a tendon repair, you need ankle surgery for a fracture, or you are undergoing some other major procedure, then your recovery will, of course, take longer. You will probably see your doctor within 5-7 days for a follow-up visit to make sure your ankle is healing properly. For about three weeks, you may be in a non-weight bearing fiberglass cast. During this time you will need to avoid any sort of standing or walking, so you will likely need to use crutches or a wheelchair. Then, you can expect to be in a boot for about another 4-6 weeks and then possibly go through physical therapy. Please contact Advanced Foot and Ankle if you have any questions or concerns regarding ankle surgery, or you would like to schedule an appointment for an examination.
