Bone fracture
I had a fracture in my tibia and fibula bone on my right leg. It has been a week since I got operated. I had my first dressing yesterday but I'm experiencing itchiness inside my plaster. Is it normal?

May or may not be normal.
Itchiness could also be due to infection of wounds or excoriation of skin if present.
If you think latter scenarios are present then visit your doctor.
Share x-rays.

That itchiness is normal. As long as the dressing over the wound was clean and you don't have any fever or pain while moving the leg, it should be fine.
If you have any worsening, then go back and see the surgeon who operated on you.
