But if it's a simple fracture, I would think it is at 6-8 weeks, then I don't see why he couldn't get back to 100 by December/Jan.
What concerns me a bit is that there's surgery at all.
Again, when I broke my fibula I did have to have surgery, but it was on my ankle. When they went in there and put in the hardware to stabilize my ankle, that ended up being what held the fibula in place and it healed just fine.
They say no ligament issues - so what's the surgery for? [Reply]

If I understand right, his surgery sounds the same as yours

Mine was a tight-rope to deal with the ligament damage.
But you're probably right. Maybe a sesamoid fracture(s) that required a little hardware to stabilize the area even if the ligaments weren't compromised. [Reply]
I fractured my proximal fibula and they gave me motrin and said go back to work when you can deal with the pain. A distal break disrupts the stability of the ankle but if the ligaments are good as stated, that's probably the best you could hope for. [Reply]
