Patient's question:
4-year-old child with oblique fracture and fragmentation of the right fibula, undergoing rigorous treatment at the hospital for a month. How long can they walk on their feet, and how long until they recover fully?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described and the symptoms the child is showing, the child has been treated for one month. Now, if there is no pain, they can start walking with support. Generally, if a four-year-old child has a fracture with mild displacement, after strict treatment for 35 days, they can typically start walking. However, when walking, it is essential to be careful to prevent falling again. For now, you can start moving the cast.
