Re: possible outcomes? broken tibia

I broke my tibia back on may 21st, it is now August 12th. The operated and put a rod inside of the bone. My bone still hasn't shown signs of much healing but the doctor explained to me sometimes depending on the break the tibia can take long to heal because its all dependant on how much blood can get there. Since there isn't a lot of flesh around the bone in that area it heals slowly.

The HealWell Night splint is designed to comfortably position the foot in a controlled amount of dorsiflexion to provide a gentle stretch to the plantar fascia and Achilles Tendon. This gentle stretch helps reduce the muscle contracture, inflammation and associated pain. It has also been clinically proven to reduce symptoms of plantar fasciitis.
