If the fibula fracture is not significantly displaced, it can be treated by splinting or plaster immobilization and generally takes 2-3 months to recover. Individual patients can even walk about two months after the injury, although they need to use crutches and other aids. If the fracture is significantly displaced, it can be repositioned by manipulation and can also be treated with external fixation, but the recovery time will be longer, and it may take about 3 months to walk. If the fracture is a comminuted fracture, it is difficult to be reset by manipulation and requires surgery for internal fixation. After surgery, you can walk with crutches in about 2 months, but you will need to remove the internal fixation after 6 months. If a fibula fracture occurs, in addition to the necessary repositioning treatment (including conservative or surgical treatment), you should also strengthen nutrition and take more high-quality protein and calcium supplements, which can promote the healing of the fracture. It is worth noting that no matter which treatment is taken, the walking activity should be gradual, slowly increasing the amount of activity, not blindly exerting force or premature activity, in order to prevent the occurrence of deformities in the joint healing and other conditions.
