What Could Be The Cause Of Mid-tibia Stress Fracture?

I was diagnosed with a mid tibia stress fracture in March. I was booted for 2 weeks and then casted and non-weight bearing for 8 weeks, re-booted for 4 more weeks, and then rebooted again non-weight bearing going on 2 weeks. The fracture is not healing....doing blood work now, what could be the problem

Hi,

I have studied your case with diligence

This can be delayed healing may be due to poor bone stock or due to smoking/drinks

Fracture line may be seen for 3 months.
If you can send all your x ray reports I can help you better.
