A member asked:
I recently suffered a tibia and fibula fracture. what are some ways i can safely strengthen the muscles to prevent any muscle tears?

Talk to your doctor: Your are not at risk for ongoing muscle tears at this point. Muscle may have been injured at the time of your injury but should not be at risk now. The return to exercise and strengthening depends on the amount of bone healing that has occurred and the overall stability of your fracture.
