Hi,Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you got tibial plateau fracture about a inch long .As your doctor has said no weight bearing means you cannot walk on it. You should rest at home. You should only go to toilet walking with the help of walker(support) without giving any weight over it.You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
