Hi
I fractured my fibula on the 22nd of September 2013 and it is a Weber C fracture. Since I have been diagnosed I have been in a moon boot, however the break has not healed as yet. According to the x-ray taken on the 11th of January the fracture lucency is still visible with signs of incomplete healing. How long can it take for such a fracture to heal? When will I be able to start walking on the leg without the moon boot and when will I be able to start with physio? Will I be able to go to the gym but not do any exercises that has any influence on my ankle?
