How do I determine 10% weight-bearing vs. 50% weight-bearing?
Simply calculate 10% of your total body weight. For example, if you weigh 150 pounds, you’d allow for 15 pounds of weight on the foot. Your leg alone will probably weigh more than 15 pounds so that would be a light touch of the foot on the ground. 50% of 150 pounds would be 75 pounds, so you could indeed put some weight on the foot with the support of crutches.
