Q: distal fib orif plate 8 screws. been 18 weeks post op. when can i start jogging again roughly. feel well walking fine. rom good.

Jogging &gt; 4.5 m OK: Fractures in normal circumstances heal by 6-8 weeks. With continued rehabilitation to regain functionality and increase bony strength, the expectation is to be able to start jogging by 4 1/2 months.
