A member asked:
How much time does it take to heal from a "spiral" fractured fibula (at ankle area)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Be patient...: Any fracture that occurs takes 6-8 weeks to heal and a year to completely remodel. The fibula is a Non weight bearing bone, so it heals well barring any complications.
