I am a 38 yr old female and was playing soccer on April 4, 2011 and came down crazy on my right leg after making a save. X-Ray and CT the next day identified a Comminuted lateral tibial plateau fracture without significant depression. I have been in a leg immobilizer and zero weight bearing for 5 weeks and will continue to be be until my appointment in 1 week. I am in no pain and when I bend my knee it is really stiff, but not painful at all. My Doc thought I would be walking by the end of this month.
My questions are - how quickly can I expect to move from partial weight bearing, to full weight bearing? And from full weight bearing to walking?
