Suggest Treatment For Trabecular Fracture
I was in a car accident 6 weeks ago I have had extreme knee pain and swelling since x-Ray show nothing but was sent for a CT scan which shows injury to the proximal fibula with an associated small non displaced trabecular fracture. What is the treatment and recovery time for this injury?

Hi,
Thank you for providing the brief history of you.
As You had an associated non-displaced fracture this should be treated with conservative management, Maybe the choice will be cast or a taping method.
Between 4-8, the fracture should heal and you should be able to walk with graded weight bearing to make the bone stronger and muscle too.
