I"m a actual therapist and we discovered this at school an prolonged time in the past. The cane is going on the unaffected area, or the risky area as you're saying. WIth the cane on the unaffected area, weight is greater allotted around the physique for the period of the burden-bearing part of the gait cycle of the affected leg.

usually the bad side
that is if the arm will function all right
the cane is for balance or to hold off some weight from the bad leg
or to feel along & keep you from losing your step

For most people, you use it on your dominant side (right side of you're right-handed). However, if you're ambidextric (did i spell that right??!) use it on the injured side for a limp for better support.
