A member asked:

Can you wear high heels with a fractured tibia?

5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Typically not: If you have a fracture that goes entirely through the bone, you will need to immobilize the fracture and would not be able to wear high heels. If you have a stress fracture, possibly.

No: Bone needs to be positioned and splinted to heal. There are no heels on a cast.
