hi i broke my right fibula (displaced) 3 days ago and have a temporary plastercast until tuesday. i acquired a wheelchair and did a little housework this morning. i now feel the plaster tight and my leg is swollen. can you please give me some advice on what to do
Hi! The treatment(and recovery) of a fibular fracture depends on the location of the fracture and associated injury. For your swollen leg and tightening of plaster I'd advise you to get in touch with your orthopedic quickly(more so if you feel your toes are getting numb or bluish or too painful to move). A fibular fracture will take 4-8 wks.to heal. All the best!
