can you bend ankle having precice on tibia (full dorsiflexion),
during or after consolidation?

i'm on consolidation stage but still it's hard to achieve full dorsiflexion(bending ankle toward me as much as i can)
is this going to improve over time, or is this only possible after removing Precice nail, or this is not possible at all?

 Stretching will help you over the time. don't loose hope

did you do your tibia? if so how's your ankle move?

[m4rked0ne]

Your flexion should improve every day if you do stretching and walk on it. The first 3 months are critical after your stop lengthening. I did tibia and am in consolidation stage. I've seen people with severe ballerina feet getting back to normal in a couple of weeks. It wont improve as good if you dont take phisiotherapy and do proper strething.

To adress your question exactly, I dont think achieving full dorsoflexion during consolidation is realistic but you may get close to it when you are able to properly walk and give your full weight on your ankles throughout the day.

what stretching do you do now?
can you do standing calf stretching? can you also use slant board?
