How Long After A Fractured Fibula Is The Healing Period?
I fractured my Fibula near the ankle. How long will it be before I can start playing soccer again. I ve read that the recovery time is around 4-6 week but I m curious from your experience what the range is. I m worried because it is my senior season and I want to be as fit as possible for it.
