Broken tibia

2018-02-13 09:30:59
I am a 24yrs old female with a spiral fracture of tibia. I was NWB for 12weeks with a cast. Yesterday my cast came off and my OS told me to start partial weight bearing after 15days.But my xray doesn't look fully healed. There is still much gaps in between fragments. Should I start start weight as OS instructed? won't it be worsen the condition?

Yes start weight bearing..you can see a solid bony union not before 6months in x-rays. You can still judge union by no tenderness at fracture site.
