 50% weight bearing
Rob Fowden    5:24pm May 21 2012

i'm an 11stone male and i have been told by my orthopaedic consultant to put 50% (5 1/2 stone) on my other leg.

I've had 8 weeks of NWB , and can only manage to exert 3 stone on my leg before becoming cautious. any advice? and is it important to weight bear on the broken leg?

in a long leg cast
04/05/2012 Go from a long leg cast to a cast below the knee
