How long does it take to heal from a non displaced weber b distal fibia fracture?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Distal fib fracture: Varies depending on age, health, smoking status, nutrition, displacement, etc. Average person the answer is about 6 wks, but then additional maturation of the fracture occurs with soft tissue healing and muscle strengthening.

Ankle Fracture: Typically, a nondisplaced distal fibula fracture is treated with a short leg non ambulatory cast. A weber b fx is a radiographic classification detailing to the reader where the fracture line starts (it's not related to the progress or outcome of the fracture). Being nondisplaced, fracture healing is typically seen around 6-8 weeks on xray and may take up to 3-4 months for complete healing.
