Hello, As you had a fracture of the fibula, which is a year old now we need to know first which location the bone got fracture, and what was the fracture like - hairline?  As it's a year old now, there might be million of the fibula and that must be leading to the changes in the biomechanics of the bone for the bearing of the stress and strain over the shaft.  Also, this must have made the muscles of the lower limb weak and Imbalance.  What I would suggest is take an x-ray to see if it's a million. If not confirmed in the x-ray then you can proceed to the exercise plan. Use the stocking for lower limbs. Strengthen the core muscles along with the hip and lower limb on both sides.  Post this use the balance board training which will help to improve the joint biomechanics and correct the muscle imbalances. In my clinical practice of 12 years, most cases with old fracture have similar complains of the lower limbs. With the above-mentioned exercise they are able to get good outcome score. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Jay In Chat Doctor.
