Is surgery necessary for broken fibula?
No, you don't need an operation, unless an operation is needed to fix it! What I mean by that is that only if your surgeon recommends an operation to fix a broken fibula should you consider having one. You don't need a joined up fibula to walk or run or do anything that you would normally do, as the fibula normally only carries around 10% of your body weight. Without it and your tibia will bear the weight. I broke both my tib and fib some years ago, and still have a rod and pin in my tib. But my fibula never heald and still has a gap of around an inch in it. I mountainbike, rugby referee and skydive without any adverse effect.
