physical therapy for tib fib fracture
(2 discussions)
I suffered a compound tib fib fracture on 7/23.
I had surgery that night and ended up with a plate and 7 screws in my tibia.
The fibula was left alone.
I am nonweight bearing for 3-4 months. I do ankle stretches and rotations now because I am in a CAM boot.
I was just wondering what physical therapy might look like when it is time to start that.

It looks like this…OWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!! Naw, I’m just kidding. They will start you with some range of motions exercises, massage, maybe some estim if you still have pain. You will do hip strengthening exercises…lot’s of fun stuff.
