A member asked:

Clean" break to my tibia 5 weeks ago and in a full leg cast. there is bone starting to form, how long have i got until i can weight-bear?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ask your orthopod: Only the doctor who has examined you and seen your x-rays can give you a good answer for your particular situation. It often takes 6-10 weeks before you are ready. If you put weight on it too on you risk more damage and an even longer stay in a cast.
