Tibia & Fibula Comminuted Fracture

2019-10-19 20:40:06
Hello, I am an IT professional staying in Delhi. On 27th September, i met an accident where my RE Thunderbird crashed and it broke my right leg bones. I got Comminuted fracture in fibula and tibia. After diagnosis, i underwent a surgury in which a titanium rod is placed with 4 nails and it's fixed in my tibia bone. But my fibula bone is left untreated to let it heal automatically. Is it the right way to execute the surgery and follow treatment? Can it cause any deformity? How long it can take for me to start walking with full load? Can I resume my work after 45 days? Attaching X-rays before-after surgery. Please suggest. Thanks in advance.
