Fracture in Tibia Bone
I had a fracture in the lateral condyle of my tibia on 25/09/2018. The fracture had to be operated and a titanium plate and screws were inserted for proper healing. Now after almost a month my stitches have already been cut and pain is reduced and also swelling is gone.
But my surgeon hasn't advised me any kind of exercise yet apart from moving my fingers and feet in to & fro direction.
Please suggest what else can be done and after how much time should I start walking with a support..
