A member asked:

When do i know if fibula break and sprained ankle is completely healed. what should i be able to do? still can't stand on both ankles

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe: Best test is to get a x-ray of your leg. You could potentially be able to walk and be able to do all sorts of task even with fractured fibula.
