Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.
Yes, it would be Ok if you dont have other risk factors for deep vein thrombosis. Also, I dont think it is require to take clexane for so long if there is just fibula fracture and you walk with crutches. But for further actions you should consult your doctor who prescribed it.

I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
