Tibiofibular fracture healing needs to be determined by the degree of fracture displacement, soft tissue damage, fracture location and other factors. However, most patients whose condition is not particularly severe can heal after active treatment.
Tibiofibular fractures are usually treated with surgery. Usually patients with particularly severe tibiofibular fractures can heal after active treatment with internal or external fixation. However, if the fracture comminution is severe and the tibiofibular bone is fractured in the middle and lower 1/3, the probability of delayed healing or non-healing is higher. Postoperative infections can also lead to delayed healing or non-healing.
The chance of healing and prognosis of tibiofibular fracture is mainly based on the degree of original displacement of the fracture, the degree of soft tissue damage, the location of the fracture, the presence or absence of infection, the treatment plan and other factors. It is recommended that the patient actively cooperate with the doctor’s treatment and review on time.
