and whether the fracture is stable or displaced. A minor, non-displaced fracture may be managed in a boot or cast and heal within roughly 12 to 16 weeks, while fractures involving multiple bones or requiring surgical fixation can take considerably longer to fully rehabilitate. Regardless of severity, the period after immobilisation is just as important as the healing of the bone itself: stiffness, weakness, and altered gait patterns are common after weeks in a cast or boot, and a structured rehabilitation program is essential to restore normal strength, balance, and walking mechanics before returning to full activity.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"vamtam-has-theme-widget-styles elementor-element elementor-element-113463f elementor-align-center elementor-invisible
