A member asked:
Could someone possibly fracture your leg and still be able to walk?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fracture disability: Yes, it is possible. When there is a nondisplaced fracture, there may be pain, but walking can be tolerated often with a limp. So it's important to have any fracture or potential fracture evaluated.
