I'm dealing with this injury currently. The doctors put me in a soft cast, for the first 48hrs you elevate it and ice it 15 minutes w/ ice on then take the ice off for 15... and so on.. I've been put on crutches as well which is a real treat *insert eye roll*... Also, according to various readings online, i will be in the cast for 6wks-8wks and will probably need physical therapy.

∙ 15y agoDefinitely go to the emergency room and see if it's serious enough for a cast. ---- The treatment for a fractured fibula is a splint, and later a cast. If the fracture is displaced, the bone may need to be set - either with or without surgery, depending on the circumstances.

A broken fibula is rather severe. What you should do is each week try and put more and more weight on it so that it gets used to the strain which will eventually heal. If you do that each weak it should take about 12-18 weeks, depending on you.

How long does it take for fracture on the lower one third of fibula bone to heal?
The "fibia" is not a bone. There are 2 bones that make up the lower leg, the tibia and fibula. The fibula is not a weight bearing bone and doctors usually dont do anything about it. The fibula is weight bearing, and depending on age, it usually heals in about 6 weeks. But that doesnt mean that it doesnt still hurt. If the patient is geriatric age, their bones take longer to heal.
