The distal fibula constitutes the ankle joint and should recover sufficiently from a fracture to assist with getting off the ground in about 6 weeks and walking short distances after 8 weeks. The distal fibula is an important structure that makes up the ankle joint. Fractures include breakage and separation of the bone, and there will also be varying degrees of damage to the ligaments, muscles and other soft tissues. Weight bearing should be avoided after a fracture to give the fibula, ligaments, muscles and other tissues time to fully heal and repair. Regardless of conservative surgical treatment, a distal fibula fracture may be able to get down to the ground with assistance after roughly 6 weeks, but weight-bearing should be avoided, i.e., you can only move with the help of crutches, and you cannot walk with the affected limb. Usually about 8 weeks after fracture, you can get down to the ground and try to walk normally, but long time or heavy walking is not conducive to the recovery of fracture, you should avoid long time and heavy walking. However, there are large individual differences between different people, and the speed of recovery is very different. X-ray should be taken to clarify the fracture healing or bone scab growth before deciding the time to get down to the ground.
