I fell from the stairs and broke my tibia and fibula near my left ankle. It is operated and plate and screw have been fixed. How many weeks would I have to take bed rest?

This might take 3-4 weeks usually. But just after plaster removal you have to start specific exercises for koi t mobilisation and stiffness. Post Surgical Rehab is must and you have to start Physiotherapy as soon as the plaster is removed. For more information, you can consult anytime.
