A member asked:
How long will i be on crutches after breaking my leg?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually 4-6weeks: Depending on fracture site you can be transitioned from crutches to a walking boot after a few weeks. The knee-scooter is also a fun means of getting around for ankle and lower leg injuries.
