Hello welcome to ChatDoctorFibula fracture is of concern if its involving lower third of fibula. Only point I want to know is which part of fibula was fractured?and whether there was associated fracture of tibia or not?fibula is involved only with 15% weight transfer, so you are not experiencing any issues with weight-bearing.X-ray are advised to see union/ nonunion and its causes therefore your X-ray of involved leg along with ankle and knee is desired before we can discuss treatment protocol as all depends upon type of non-union. Please follow up with X-ray so that I can better understand your condition and provide you feasible treatment option. Thanks for visiting ChatDoctorWARM REGARDS Chat Doctor.
