I recently had an accident on June 23rd, and they put a plaster on my injury that same day. I'm trying to figure out how many days of bed rest I might need before I can start going back to the office. Can you give me some guidance on when it might be safe to return to work?

View allThe doctor mentioned the fracture is severe and needs surgery but I'm worried can it heal without surgery? The report says it's major but I'd like to understand if there are other options or if surgery is absolutely necessary
While surgery might be recommended for severe fractures, alternative treatments like casting or splinting can sometimes be used. The decision depends on the specific fracture, its location, and whether the bone fragments are significantly displaced. Surgery is often needed for complex fractures or when non-surgical methods are unlikely to result in proper alignment and healing

How long does it usually take for a tibia-shin bone fracture near the ankle to heal? And when might I be able to start walking again? Also, what should I expect regarding a full recovery?
The healing time for a tibiashin bone fracture can vary depending on the severity of the fracture. In general, it can take around 6 to 8 weeks for the fracture to heal. However, it may take longer for full recovery, which can range from several months to a year. After the initial healing period, a person may be able to start walking with the help of crutches or a walking boot. It is important to follow your doctor's advice on when it is safe to start walking again to avoid any complications. Physical therapy may also be recommended to help regain strength and mobility in the affected leg.
