A member asked:
Can u stress a healing fracture out by doing rehab while its healin but no weight bearing tibula and fibula?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usualy not: You are not weight bearing but using the pressure from the muscles around the bone, if fracture is stable you should not have any problem.
