Are Braces Sufficient For The Fractured Tibula?

I havejust fractured left tibula. My doctor told me i can walk on it as long as I wear the brace they provided and that I don't need to use crutches or sleep with it on. Is this true? I am 40 years old, 5'6" and 130 lbs. I have a history of many fractures.
