A member asked:
Can you tell me, are there any braces made for a broken fibula just above the ankle that would allow me to compete sooner?

There are splints --: That one uses, but for a broken bone you should see an orthopod who will be able to monitor you better and once the fx is healed only then you could return to your regular activities. Also what activities are you thinking of competing in?
