possible outcomes? broken tibia
(2 discussions)
Hi,
3 weeks ago I fell down some steps and broke the lowerpart of my tibia (in the ankle joint, close to the maleous sp) I’ve had 2 weeks of none weight baring pt.
And go backto have it re x-rayed.
The doctor said that if the bone wasn’t healing right I would have to have surgery.Could you tell me what a typical treatment would be ifit is healing right?
Will I be able to start walking again right away?
I realize that my case is different and you can’t give me an exact answer…
Thank you for your time.Karat

Of course since I can't see this I can't tell you specifically. I would expect though if you are healingok and in good position, there will be an extended period of non weight bearing followed by a gradual return to weight bearing over several weeks.
