Asked 9/6/2009

How long is the recovery time for a broken tibia/fibula (Clean Break)?

Im 18 years old. Good health and very atheletic. I broke my Tibia and Fibula playing ball hockey. Its a clean break right through both bones in the middle of my right shin. I was in a full leg cast for 5 weeks and I've been wearing a walking brace for the past 2 months. I recently was told I no longer need to wear the brace around my house, but should continue to wear it at work and at school. Its been just over three months since the incident. I want to join the military asap, but I need to wait for my leg to be ready for boot camp (climbing, jumping and running). I would really like to know how much longer it will take to be 100%. Thanks

Better to ask a doctor at the military camp what they tell you should be doing, they know what kind of exercise they make and they will probably put you in a medical examination any way.
