A member asked:
After nearly 6 months since a displaced fibulas fracture , it is now a fibrous union, what treatment is now needed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Perhaps nothing: If you are pain free and able to perform all the things that you want to do, leave it alone. If you are having pain, the surgical option would include excising the fibrous union and fixing the fracture with a plate, screws and bone graft.
