Can I run after a spiral fracture of the fibula?

from Doc On The Run Podcast · host Dr. Christopher Segler

Today's question actually comes from Elizabeth who explained she rolled her ankle, and sustained a fracture of the fibula bone. She wanted to see if she could get some advice. She said, "I'm a 27-year-old female. I twisted my ankle and I was rushed off for x-rays and discovered a spiral displaced fracture of my fibula in my ankle joint. I'm dying to get back on the road and going a bit stir crazy. It's been 10 or 11 weeks post-break now. I want to know if I will do damage by starting to run in increments to gain back some fitness and cardiovascular fitness or if it'll be okay.” Can I run after a spiral fracture of the fibula?  Well, that's what we're going to talk about today on the Doc On The Run Podcast.
