How long can a patient walk after surgery for fibula fracture depends on the following aspects: 1) whether the fracture is stable; 2) whether the internal fixation is strong and reliable; 3) whether there is osteoporosis. If the fracture is stable, the internal fixation is strong and reliable, and there is no osteoporosis, the patient can partially bear the weight and support the crutches on the ground if the pain of the surgical incision is tolerable and there is no infection in about 5-7 days after the surgery, and the fracture is basically healed when the film is taken, and the crutches are gradually abandoned in about 3 months. If the fracture is unstable, is a comminuted fracture, the internal fixation is not strong and reliable enough or there is osteoporosis, external fixation with a brace can be used. 2 weeks after the surgery, the incision heals and you can go down with an abductor without weight-bearing, preferably with family support. After the operation, monthly review of the film, according to the fracture healing situation to determine the weight-bearing situation, the specific time to go to the ground and abandon the crutches is best to communicate with the surgeon to ensure absolute safety.
