A member asked:
Can a bimalleolar fracture that is still in good alignment without surgery still become displaced after being put in a fiber cast? would i feel it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely: If you follow your instructions regarding weight bearing it is unlikely to displace. However, you may not feel it. Follow up for regular x-rays.
