How effectively do people recover from fibula breaks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fibula: Depends where the fibula is fractured as well as if there are any other injured parts. Eg ankle ligaments or syndesmosis ,if also injured and missed ,may take a long time to recover. If it is a simple fibula fracture ,alone ,most heal quite well
