Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you can bear weight now as after ORIF as 9 weeks has already passed. You can take weight after at 9 weeks post operative after fixing proximal tibia by plate and screws. However it is better decided by x ray. You can discuss with your Doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you.
Wishing you a good health. Take care.
