More data can only help, but I am less clear what you can do about an asymmetry.

Did you get a surgically installed internal fixation?

If it were me (and it was, except drive-side ankle 10 years ago), I would rehab on an indoor trainer and use actual bikes 3 or 4 months from now when there is no danger from ice on the road.
Durable medical equipment is generally reimbursable only if it has no other use.

As others have said, I wouldn’t worry too much about the inevitable asymmetry. It will improve on its own and it can be tested and addressed in the gym. I am aware of no data showing that symmetry is fast anyway.
