Hey i just got surgery for my broken tibia and fibula do you get a cast at all?

[pangib]

Thanks for all your videos, they really helped me get a visual on recovery, milestones etc. I'm at 8 weeks post IM nail surgery on my tibia. All the best to you and others with similar injuries.

I'm with you here I have fractured my ankle for the 2nd time in less than a year and not being able to carry things is one if the worst things about being on crutches.

Great job. People don't realize how a simple broken ankle can make daily life impossible!

Know how you feel :( 4 plates, 8 screws, and 2 years in a wheelchair :/ hope it's fast recovery love :)

I have a metal rod in my tibia for about seven years and I am soon going to take it out. I recommend that you stretch out the muscles in your leg every day because you could have scores in them.

I just broke my tib/fib in 3 places 2 weeks ago. I feel your pain!! I'm currently using a walker and wheelchair and even though I can get around, I can't wait until I have more freedom. Best of luck to you!! Sandi :-)
