How Can One Treat A Spiral Fibula Fracture?
Hello...i suffered a spiral fibula fracture 8 weeks ago. Got the go ahead 2 weeks ago to do FWB. I can walk SLOWLY without pain. Can t seem to pick up the speed, but guess that will take time. The one thing is I cannot raise up on my tippy toes on the BL. Can do both legs, but I feel it. I decided not to have surgery. There was about 2mm displacement, and most doctors said I could go either way (surgery). The break was pretty much on ankle bone. Should I be super concern about not being able to be on toes? Or just keep working towards that? THANKS
