Only real thing I regret when I broke my leg was not using a cane after crutches. Didn’t realize using the crutches too long led to my fibula reattaching incorrectly and breaking again a year later randomly as I was walking.
I’m pretty sure that I healed with my foot in an unnatural position (outside tiles up slightly) causing the bone to heal in a shortened position. They don’t do anything to your fibula in most cases as it bears very little weight, it’s just allowed to heal on its own.

How would a cane have helped?
Forces more weight bearing.

That’s the sort of thing they should have told you
