How soon you can walk after a tibial fracture depends on the treatment option chosen and cannot be generalized. If the treatment is conservative, it usually requires at least 4-6 weeks of external fixation in a cast or splint before walking with the aid of a crutch or walker. With surgical treatment, i.e., internal fixation with an incisional plate and screw, walking with assistance is usually possible within 1-2 weeks after surgery. Most tibial fractures are caused by direct violence to the lower leg bone. If the fracture is mild, it can be treated conservatively, but the fixation time is long and it takes at least 3 months to return to normal walking. If the fracture is severe, it is usually treated surgically, and you can get out of bed within a short time after surgery, but you usually need a walker or crutches to walk, and you can resume normal walking only after three months when the fracture is healed. In conclusion, the fracture should be reviewed regularly during the healing period to understand the healing situation. At the same time, functional exercises should be strengthened to avoid non-healing or delayed healing of the fracture, which may affect the later function.
