Tibial fractures: With tibial fractures above the ankle, depending on the way you were injured, you may have soft tissue damage to tendons, muscles, nerves, lymphatic vessels, blood vessels. You can also experience bone shortening even after fracture has healed. Careful evaluation by your doctor or orthopedist or podiatrist should be performed.

Will walk ok: As long as leg was set correctly and there was no joint involvement, should be ok.
