there is really no way for a medical professional to blindly determine a healing time based solely with the information you provided in your posting. healing time is very individual -- especially when you have osteopenia. healing time depends on your age the severity of the infection the degree of displacement and a dozen other variables. sometimes there is a non-union. a fracture that will not fuse without some help and unfortunately this help is often surgically. stabilizing a fracture with a pin may be recommended but the good news is that the fibula is not a weight bearing bone so the orthopedist may recommend waiting longer. perhaps a month more to see if nature takes care of it.
how long does it take a displaced fracture of the fibula to heal? . i broke my fibula about 6 weeks ago: it is displaced broke in 3 places at the tip. the swelling has almost gone down and it seems like it is healing. last time i got x-rays {2 weeks ago} it was still displaced. i have osteopenia and take 1000 mg of calcium a day. don't want surgery do you think it will heal without? if so how long?
