basically you need minimum of 6 weeks rest.. you can add another 4 weeks but that depends upon your extent of fracture.. but to be able to walk properly you will need 12 weeks and to run a total of 20 weeks.. !! get well soon... (i know this cause i have undergone a major fracture in tibia and febula bones..)

∙ 15y agoI broke shattered my left tibia, had 3 screws inserted on July 5th 2008, was in a full leg cast 6 weeks, walking boot for 3, and today, Sept. 7th, I can walk without any real pain. Feels stiff, but should be good to go in 2-3 more weeks.

∙ 15y agoIt's a late answer but maybe, if posted over the internet will help other people.
I have suffered an undisplaced fibula fracture above the ankle while skating and my doctor has adviced not to cast the leg but to wear a walking boot from the very begining. I got an "Air inflated" one and after one week i feel ok. Of course i do not put weight in the respective leg at all and move with crutches, but I go to the office and hope in a faster recovery than casting.

∙ 15y agoI had a bad accident in November 2008 and broke both fibulas and my right tibia. It is now late April 2009 and while I can certainly walk on both legs at pretty normal speed and ride a stationary bike, I am not fully recovered. I still have quite a bit of pain in the leg that had the broken tibia and I have not been cleared to run again by my orthopedist. Let me just say, it can be a very long recovery depending on the severity of the injury. I have an IM nail in my tibia and sometimes I wonder if that isn't actually causing some of the remaining pain. Originally my doctor said it would take about 10-12 months to be fully back to normal. Now I believe it.
