Fractured leg not walking at 16 weeks?

How long will healing take place? I fractured leg in two places (tibial plateau area) dislocated kneecap and also broke arm and wrist. Both arm and leg have had plates screwed in. Arm has stopped me using normal crutches due to downward pressure and I have only had gutter crutches for a week. I've been out of action 16 weeks and and have only last week put on full weight bearing. How long to walk after full weight bearing allowed?

    Surely you are having Physio. They will help you with excercises to strengthen your muscles. I was in a cast for 6 weeks and it took ages before I could walk with comfort.
