Tibial Fractures

Tibial fractures typically take a long time to heal. So that the bone can heal properly, you may need to use crutches and avoid placing any weight on the leg for several weeks. Periodic X-rays may be needed to ensure that the bone remains aligned and is healing properly. Closed fractures may take 5 to 6 months to heal; severe open fractures may take 9 months or more.
