How long does it take for a proximal fibula fracture to fully heal depends on the specific healing condition of the patient. Generally speaking, you can walk on the ground after about 3 months of treatment, and it may take 1~2 years for the fracture to fully heal.
Proximal fibula fracture is usually caused by the impact of external force, resulting in fracture of the fibula head or neck, local pain, swelling and limited movement. Since the proximal fibula is close to the knee joint and there is peroneal nerve attached around it, most patients can start to exercise the knee joint function gradually in about 1 month after treatment, and they can walk on the ground with weight bearing in about 3 months, and it may take 1~2 years to heal completely.
Patients with proximal fibula fracture are recommended to go to the hospital for regular checkups and improve the tibiofibular orthopantomograms to understand the fracture healing under the judgment of professional doctors.
