If : If the doctor is giving you choices, then it may be possible to heal without surgery. It completely depends on the x-rays. Casting was done much more frequently in the past, but now with surgery, you can do earlier range of motion of your ankle, and perhaps line up the bones a little bit better.

Evaluation: Evaluation and probable x-ray are required before treatment options can be considered.

Fracture: You need to be evaluated and have xrays taken before any treatment can be considered . Don't wait - sooner rather than later. Good luck.
