Broke my tibia 5 weeks ago (sept), in a full leg cast. will i be able to ski in january? i was an intermediate skier before the accident

depends: It depends a little on thank you. The more specific nature of your tibia fracture. That being said, "most" tibia fractures heal by 6-8 weeks with resumption of unrestricted activities by 12 weeks, making your january ski schedule. Again, there are some fracture configurations and types of tibia fractures that do take longer to heal.
