I'm in my 3rd year since fracture with surgery. Removal surgery this Oct. because of swelling. I stand for long periods, with lots of walking. Most days are good, with some "bad leg days." Full rom is possible, just takes determination. Only 12 pt visits, and I have full rom, and no limp usually. Stairs are still a challenge as well as prolonged distances (usually several hours of walking) I do rom exercises in hot water, or just after waking before putting weight on foot.
