If its anything like my Tibia and Fibula fracture, which did require surgery, he could technically be back within 4 months. I broke both tib and fib and had surgery to install a rod in the middle of the tibia and was walking (barely) within a month. This can quickly speed up recovery because you can start doing physio way earlier. This will really reduce muscle atrophy that you would otherwise see by being a cast.
