A member asked:
I was wondering if it is possible to not have to use crutches after 4 weeks with a medial malleolus fracture that is non displaced?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Best for six weeks: It would be best to do it in six weeks but clarify with your physician before you do that. In general fractures heal in six weeks, but sometimes it can occur later
