How long will you wear a cast after a fibula fracture?
6 - 8 weeks. I have a spiral fracture in my left left of the fibula..This happened 4 weeks ago and I have been in a fiberglass cast ever since. I will be in this cast for 2 more weeks then I will be in a boot for 2-4 more weeks after. The drs have told me not to put weight on the leg as it could compress the 2 separate bone pieces together and make my fibula shorter than before my fall. I had a Spiral fracture in my distal fibula. There was no displacement (I got really lucky in that respect). The surgeon decided to just put me a in a walking boot. I had an appointment after a week and my doctor told me I could put some weight on it. The Fibula does not bear very much weight. I was walking with the boot after 2 1/2 weeks. After 4 weeks I don't even need the boot.
