How Can A Fractured Fibula Be Treated?
I have a fractured Fibula, 2 bone Fragments and severely strained ligaments. I will need some screws and plate. I am in a cast thats hard on 3 sides and wrapped on the top. It s pretty swollen as I cant have surgery for a week. Would I be alright to fly approx 3.5 hours in the air? Would look to get surgery when there.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
There is nothing wrong with taking a flight, but try to sit with your leg elevated. Let me know if you other questions.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
