Can drive car ?

Good evening sir, I am age 50 years old. It will be 15 weeks since the leg operation. Now I’m able to walk without any support. Can I drive a car in this condition? I am attaching the latest X-ray.

It's very obvious by your XRay that operating surgeon needs to be given full credit;however considering your age and quality of your bone mass you must always keep operating surgeon in loop before doing any activity.15 weeks period is Not sufficient to indulge in strenuous activity like driving.Your XRay already showing loosening of distal screw and hitting fibula.
