The "fibia" is not a bone. There are 2 bones that make up the lower leg, the tibia and fibula. The fibula is not a weight bearing bone and doctors usually dont do anything about it. The fibula is weight bearing, and depending on age, it usually heals in about 6 weeks. But that doesnt mean that it doesnt still hurt. If the patient is geriatric age, their bones take longer to heal.
