When can walking be resumed after surgery?
Patient: Hi, i broke my tibia bone while sprinting, it got operated and they kept 2 screws inside, this is about 5 weeks back, how long does it take to resume walking ? And is it true that, surgical procedure of tibia fracture leads to arthritis in future ? Thanks Joe Doctor: Hi,  Two to months immobilization is required generally. Physiotherapy is required to regain full range of motion.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
