Generally, you can walk on the ground within 15 days after removing the plate, but the time to walk on the ground may vary depending on the individual’s physical condition. After the fracture of the calf is fixed with a plate, the plate should be removed if the bone has completely healed and the fracture line has disappeared completely. Under normal circumstances, you can walk on the ground 2 to 3 weeks after the removal of the plate. After the removal of the plate, the hole of the screw will be left to heal, so it is necessary to pay attention to rest, follow the doctor’s instructions to carry out rehabilitation training step by step, and avoid standing for a long time, heavy labor, strenuous exercise (e.g., running, climbing), etc., so as to avoid re-injury resulting in a fracture. In addition, the bone healing ability of the elderly is not as good as that of young people, so the resumption of walking on the ground may be delayed. After removing the plate from the fracture of the lower leg, rehabilitation training should be carried out under the guidance of the doctor, and walking on the ground should be moderate.
