What should I pay attention to with a bone fracture for five months?

Patient's question:

I originally fell off my motorcycle and had a serious injury. The doctor said my leg was fractured, so I have been resting for the past few months. However, I can't just stay inactive like this and still want to exercise a bit. It's been about five months now. Hello, what should I pay attention to after five months of tibial fracture?

Doctor's answer:

If it is merely a tibial fracture and the site is in a good position, it is recommended to have an early follow-up X-ray. If the fracture line is unclear or disappears, it can be considered to bear weight off the bed. During the exercise process, it is important to progress gradually, avoiding heavy manual labor or high-difficulty movements, inappropriate exercise, and violence, to prevent re-injury. If the fracture line remains clear, it is necessary to prevent bearing weight off the bed directly, continue to strengthen nutrition, and follow the doctor's advice for bed-based functional exercises.
