Suggest Treatment For Tibia Fracture
I broke my right tibia on Halloween in a car accident. I have a cast on now and I wondering if I can get it off when I go back to the hospital in 8 days. I started walking on it 3 days ago and it s getting easier everyday even though I still have a limp. I m nervous and want to know the honest truth.

Hello,
I have studied your case and I think that it is good sign that you are walking on leg. It shows that fracture is healed now. I would recommend you to continue walking. Just make sure that you do not fall on slip as bone strengthening take some time. You should use some support in walking like a brace or splint.
If you want than send x ray of the tibia to me. I can offer better advise after seeing your current x rays.
I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
