How to tell if you’ve recovered from a tibial fracture

The healing of tibiofibular fracture should be judged by the combination of abnormal activity, pain, lower limb movement, X-ray examination and observation of deformation. 1. Abnormal activity: Normal movement of the lower leg, no abnormal angle and unsteady walking suggests good healing. 2. Pain: After the tibiofibular fracture has healed, there is usually no pain when the area around the fracture is pressed and the sole of the foot is percussed. 3. Lower limb activity: walking on the ground for 3 minutes and not less than 30 steps without any obvious abnormality. 4. X-ray examination: X-ray examination can see that the bones at both ends of the fracture site grow together, the fracture line looks fuzzy, and there is a continuous bone scab passing through the broken end of the fracture. 5. Observe whether there is any deformation: after meeting the above requirements, it means that the fracture has been healed, but you need to continue to observe for 2 weeks to see whether there is any deformation of the lower limbs. To determine whether the fracture is recovered after the tibial fibula fracture, it is recommended to consult an orthopedic surgeon in time to complete the relevant examinations and then make the judgment by the orthopedic surgeon, and not to make the above judgment blindly by oneself to avoid causing secondary injury.
