A member asked:
How likely is a blood clot from having a non-displaced fibula fracture around the ankle area?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very unlikely unless you have been very inactive. It is the inactivity that would be the risk for a blood clot. A non-displaced fibula fracture has walking as tolerated, so I hope you are still walking a lot.
