Avulsion fracture at the bottom of the tibia

[mablum13]

So im just wondering how long the recovery time on this is, He put me in a non weight bearing cast and my check up is in a week its already been 2. At first he thought it was a tear of my deltoid ligament but after xrays we found out it was just an avulsion fracture. Here are the xrays --->399141_297171857024147_100001940042793_687205_1680266442_n.jpg Just how much more will I be out, I am a very active person and this cast is killing me. Will i need any physical therapy after also?

Hi,
usually fractures, even avulsion fractures, can take up to 6 weeks to heal, possibly longer for the leg. You might be stiff and a bit sore when the cast comes off because it hasn't been moving much for the last few weeks. You will probably be referred to physical therapy at your appointment if you need it.
