Broke my Tibia ( below the knee)

2022-01-21 23:21:38
I had an accident on 26th of December and on arrival at the hospital, it was discovered that I had a fracture. I did an x-ray on the 27th and the result showed a fracture on my tibia and my doctor put a POP on my leg. I've been wearing the POP for close to 4 weeks now. How long before the POP is removed?
