A member asked:
Is weight bearing on double distal fracture 8 weeks post op normal? can some weight bearing at this stage be beneficial to the bone healing? my xray shows improvements with closing fracture but not complete on xray. do xrays lag behind real time?

These are all good questions. The best person to ask is your treating doctor he /she has access to X-rays and your medical history. If you are concerned about the treating doctor seek a second opinion with your X-rays and medical record. You did not mention which bone.
