Never. You can't walk on a broken fibula. You have to wait until it is healed, and not broken anymore. :) This can take anywhere from 6-8 weeks, or longer, depending on the severity and type of fracture.

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.


Why is the fibula important to the human body?

The fibula, also called the calf bone, is located on the lower leg. It is the slenderest of all the long bones. Without a fibula, one can't walk properly because the lower leg will not be stable. This is why the fibula is very important to the human body.
