Fibula spiral fracture at ankle: 6 weeks in cast, typically, what is follow up treatment after cast is removed?x rays look great.

After cast: After cast removal, typically you may begin transition with walking, sometimes with a cam walker type boot. Also physical therapy is recommended as you can see your calf is probably very thin comparedto the other side so you are very weak. It takes a while to transition from cast to boot to shoe.
