A member asked:
How long does it takes an infection in the leg after a tibia and fibila operation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not clear...: How long does it take to develop or resolve? A post-op wound infection usually takes two to four days to develop, and with proper antibiotic therapy, ten to fourteen days to resolve. See your doctor!
