A member asked:
10 wks ago i broke fibula mid shaft sporting (direct impact). it was incorrectly diagnosed and i have walked on it since. when can return to running?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fibular fracture: Since the fibula is a nonweight bearing bone, you are usually able to walk with it fractured. The question of running is best answered by an orthopedic specialist.
