How many days will it take to walk normally after a tibia fracture?
The initial phase of healing should be finished in 6 to 12 weeks. At that point you can usually start walking with just a brace, sometimes no brace it. Each fracture is different. A small fracture heals faster than a large fracture.Complex or high energy fractures take longer to heal than require surgery. Also fractures in people who are not healthy take much longer to heal and sometimes don’t heal. Examples would be severe diabetes or heart disease or lung disease or malnutrition.Return to full sports or work activities typically takes 12 to 24 weeks or sometimes longer if you had delayed healing.
