How Long Does A Fractured Knee Bone Take To Heal?
I fractured my right fibular bone 5 days ago, near the knee. My toes are cold and I have almost no feeling on my big toe. I was told my fracture is not very serious, so I don t have a cast or splint. I was told to not bear weight on the injured leg, elevate it, move my ankle and knee. And I was given 4 weeks off from work. Is this a realistic recovery time for this type of injury?

I have gone through your query and I can understand your concerns.
The healing time will depends on the site of fracture and general condition of the patient. Fibula heals well after a fracture. It geneally takes about four to six weeks for complete recovery.
