A member asked:
Why am i still having difficulty bearing weight on ankle without cam walker? simple fibula fracture with sprain.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tendon damage: Altho the tibial fracture may be completely healed, sprained and torn tendons may take a lot longer to heal up. Suggest re-examination by ortho, or a short course of physical therapy to treat for disuse and conditioning.
