Usually: If you are referring to having fibular surgery down by your ankle, then using a knee scooter should be no problem. There is not a definitive limit to its use, but you would want to make sure several times a day that you are elevating it. If your fibular surgery was up by your knee, you would need to check with your surgeon as recommendations vary. Thank you.
