See ortho surgeon: Talk with your orthopedic surgeon so he/she can do a thorough history and physical exam to evaluate the leg.

Increased arthritis: Inc risk of arthritis. The underlying arthritis may progress faster. If fracture, then treatment based upon fracture alignment etc. Need to make sure you are seeing an ortho doc.
