Healing of fibula head fracture
I have a fracture on the Fibula head four weeks ago. Treatment was only hinged knee braces without immobilization. Now after four weeks the doctor advised me to do activity without braces. Only pain at back of knee during knee flexion of knee. I'm posting the x-rays of the date of injury and four weeks after the injury. Is the fracture healing in xray? Or is the callus visible in xray?

Hi
The 4 week x ray is usually done to see the displacement, callus is usually not visible in 1 month x ray, the 1 month x ray shows no new displacement of fracture , healing usually take somewhere between 6-12 weeks
Next Steps
You may resume mild activity out of brace
