Tibial plateau: Assuming u had an ORIF of your tibial plateau fx it takes on average 8-12 weeks for the fx to heal.May take longer to fully ‘recover’. Smokers take longer to heal fxs.Xrays would be very helpful here...yes u should eventually be able to wear heels again— though it may be some time for this! Best of luck!
