Hello Doctor, I Met With An Accident 2 Months Back
Hello Doctor,
I met with an accident 2 months back and broke my tibia. It was a spiral fracture but bones were not displaced so doctor put a full leg cast for one month without doing any surgery. He asked me to come again after one month so that he can change to cast to open my knee. He also said that this cast will be kept for 1 month and then it will be fine. But when after 2 months i went to the doctor he again put a cast (walking cast) on my leg, and told me to put 30% weight on my injured leg. He said that these fracture need time to heel. After seeing xray he said that there are gaps in the bone and will take time to heel. How much time it will take to completely recover.
