your doctor should have told you. your best bet is to call your doctors office that you went to and ask. i had ankle ligament reconstructive surgery january 10th and i was not allowed to take it off when sleeping for 3 weeks, only to shower and i am currently still in the boot but i am now allowed to take it off at night. it all depends but i would think you can't take it off cause while sleeping you have a high chance of moving and not knowing it and injure it more then it already is.

No it is not to be removed .

During showers it can be removed only after you tightly fasten Elastic Crepe Bandage so that the bone does not again dislocate itself.
