How soon after a fibula fracture do you start rehab?

Rehabilitation exercises should be performed within 1 week after fibula fracture surgery.
Rehabilitation exercises need to be started as early as possible (within 1 week) after fibula fracture surgery. Early rehabilitation exercises are very important for the healing of the fracture. The treatment of fracture mainly consists of three parts: reduction, immobilization, and rehabilitation exercise, among which effective rehabilitation exercise can promote the healing of the fracture to a certain extent. Early rehabilitation exercises do not require weight-bearing on the ground and have no major impact on fracture surgery.
Postoperative rehabilitation exercises are mainly for lower limb muscles and knee and ankle joints, which can be active or passive exercises. Knee and ankle rehabilitation exercise can avoid postoperative joint stiffness, and lower limb muscle exercise can effectively prevent venous thrombosis of the lower limbs and muscle atrophy caused by braking.
It is recommended that patients carry out rehabilitation training under the guidance of doctors in a gradual and orderly manner, to avoid injuries caused by blind training on one’s own.
