A member asked:
After a tibia and fibia break how long it will take me to regain muscle in my leg?

Same as time in cast: It will take about as long to regain strength as your leg was immobilized, assuming proper strength training. Consult a physical therapist for help unless you already know a lot about muscle training.

Muscle: It depends on how much has been lost and the time it took to heal . Your surgeon can refer you to physical therapy for the help you seek.
