Healing fibula: Any time one has any kind of surgery, the best person to answer questions concerning that operation is the doc who did the surgery. Check with his office concerning your discharge instructions & timetable for advancing walking.

Broken fibula: It's best to discuss this with your surgeon. Weight bearing will be determined by what was done at surgery and the type if injury.
