A comminuted tibiofibular fracture usually takes 3 to 4 months to start walking. The recovery time required for comminuted tibiofibular fracture varies according to the condition of the fracture, the degree of healing, and the age of the patient. In general, if the recovery is good and the patient is an adult, the radiographs can confirm that the fracture has reached the clinical standard of healing after 3 to 4 months, and the patient can start walking. The patient may feel pain and stiffness when he/she first walks on the ground, which can usually be recovered after some time. If the patient is older, or for reasons such as poor postoperative healing, it may cause a longer healing time and take 4 to 6 months before walking normally. After a comminuted fracture of the tibia and fibula, you should follow the doctor’s instructions for rest and activity, and have regular follow-up appointments, where the doctor will determine whether you can walk on the ground based on the results of the follow-up examinations.
