For distal fibula fractures, partial weight-bearing ambulation is required about six weeks after the fracture, and full weight-bearing ambulation is required about three months after the fracture. The fracture of the fibula is initially braked with a cast for a period of about six weeks. The lower extremity should be elevated during the period of immobilization to help the swelling of the limb to subside. If it is clear that there is a continuous bone scab passing through the fracture, the external fixation can be removed and the patient can gradually walk on the ground with partial weight bearing with the support of double crutches, but not full weight bearing, otherwise the bone scab will be easily broken. Three months after the fracture, if the fracture line disappears and the fracture has reached clinical healing, you can abandon the crutches and walk with full weight bearing.
