A member asked:
I have tibial imn surgery .now after 3 weeks i have almost no pain so can i put weight on affected leg & when it will heal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: Fractures can take a very variable rate of time to heal. Tibial shaft fractures if closed and not open injuries can take an average of 3 to 12 months to heal. Most people can weight bear with an IMN immediately. It's important to work on knee and ankle range of motion.
