How long does a medial malleolus closed fracture take to heal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This depends.....: This depends on the severity of the injury not just to the bone but also to the soft tissues and associated joint. After bone healing has occured you may still have some joint swelling and pain. Return to full activity may take a number of months.
