A member asked:
When can i play sports again after broken distal fibula? i surf and skateboard. i am 5 weeks out from fracture?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Assuming it is properly healing and aligned, suspect close to full recovery at about 7-8 weeks, based upon your current age. At that point, visit your orthopedic surgeon, obtain a follow-up final evaluation and obtain suggestions for resumption of activity. Physical therapy with exercise may be needed to return to your prior level of function.
