If cleared to weight bear using crutches then yes.

Rods have a load limit. Find out that limit before you do anything load-bearing!!!

You can't and shouldn't do it, before proven with x-rays your're allowed to fully weightbear. Personally that's why I'm going to wait until I'm fully consilidated with flying home to my country.
