A member asked:
How long would it take for a broken tibia and fibula, in the same leg, to fully heal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: It may heal up as quickly as 2 months. If the injury was severe and you have a highly comminuted fracture then it may take many more months and possibly further surgery to get it to heal.
