Tibia fabula fracture
12 February I had an accident and had fracture of tibia and fibula. Dr. Suggest that it'll heal by casting. So they did half plaster first then after 10 days did full plaster. But that plaster was too tight so removed. And agay did half plaster and after 7 days again did full plaster. Now 23 rd April Dr. Removed plaster and told to walk and suggest some 10 min Ray for 30 days and physiotherapist.
I'm sharing my first x-ray and most recent x-ray.
Please suggest me that is it ryt time for weight bearing. Do I need physiotherapist?

Hello,
As per your history you have had tibia fibula fracture 2 months back on 12th Feb. The xrays you have sent seems to be old where the fracture line is not completely healed. If there is no healing in the most recent xray it is not advisable to start full weight bearing so early.
I would to request you to consult directly with me, your orthopaedic doctor, through Practo for detail history, discussion and treatment plan.
Here I can help you with techniques which can allow healing of fracture and systematic weight bearing and walking pattern. Take appointment for thorough prescription and consultation.

There is no radiological evidence of fracture union.
I would recommend above knee plaster cast for 4-6 wks further.
You should keep active & move around with the help of a pair of crutches.
