Distal Fibula Fracture 2 months The fracture site is in a state of initial healing but not yet fully healed.
The healing time for a fracture is usually three months. When the fracture is about 2 months old, a more stable scab has formed, and the related symptoms such as pain and swelling have disappeared. If the fracture was immobilized in a cast, the patient will be examined by a professional doctor and the cast will be removed, and the patient will gradually begin functional exercises such as straight leg raising.
However, the fracture is not completely healed at 2 months, at this time the patient should prohibit strenuous activities, especially weight-bearing, otherwise it is not conducive to fracture healing, about 3 months before the fracture reaches the standard of clinical healing.
In addition, during the period of fracture healing, regular radiographs should be taken to observe the fracture healing, and to determine the time to go down to the ground and carry out functional exercises as early as possible.
