A member asked:
If i brake my fibula and tibula is it possible it can heal in 6 to 8 weeks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tin-Fib fracture: Yes, it is possible. But each fracture had it's own personality. Healing is related to the health of the patient & surrounding soft tissue envelope, as well as if fracture is open, displaced, comminuted, angular end, etc. Blood supply is important.
