How Long A Broken Distal Fibula Takes To Heal?
I broke my distal fibula back on July 9th. In a cast for 6 weeks. Cast taken off on Monday the 22nd. Now in a walking boot for 2 weeks. My question is when I take off the boot can I put any weight on foot? Put a call in today for my dr. but didnt get back to me. I like having the boot off.

Hi,
Wait for 2-3 months. The bone will form a union by calcium. It will take time to complete joining, and strengthen the fibula bone.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
