Avulsion fracture of fibula with inframalleolar swelling, 3w ago. no treatment and still painful/swell. what is the treatment?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Immobilization: Fractures heal with immobilization and time usually around 6 weeks. If you have not immobilized the fracture you may be at risk for malunion of the fracture due to ongoing trauma to the fracture. Best to seek treatment from an orthopedic surgeon.
