When an open comminuted fracture of the tibiofibula occurs, it is important to determine how long it will take to walk on the ground or how long it will take for the patient to return to walking normally, depending on the healing of the fracture and the patient’s later functional activities. If you can start walking, you can start walking on the ground when the fracture is clinically healed, there is bone scab growth and there is no local pressure pain. Usually it takes about 6-8 weeks after the fracture, but when you first walk on the ground, the muscles may atrophy and the joint may not adapt to the fracture for a long time, and you may experience local pain or stiffness. It is still not possible to walk normally and it is necessary to take 1-2 months to return to normal with functional exercises. In the case of active functional exercise, the exercise can be normal walking in 1 month, and the whole time of normal walking may take 3 months. If the individual’s activity function exercise is poor or not actively exercised, it takes about 3 months of exercise to fully recover, so it takes about 5-6 months to be able to walk normally.
