Karl my husband Steve is nowin wb cast
as os said it will stimulate the tib fracture to complete the bridging process.
When I broke my leg 10 years ago it healed very quickly which is more than can be said for my ruptured lateral ligaments which even after surgery will never heal properly.Even tho Steve has been in a cast for some time,he has been lucky enough not to have done any damage to his connective tissues.I will just be happy when I can have a hug without him balancing on me!
