How can you prevent an ankle fracture from becoming displaced?i am using a walking boot currently as recommended by my doctor.

Use the boot: Wear your cam walker as directed by your physician. Remember that a fracture takes weeks to heal, so don't stop using it before your doctor tells you so. Good luck!

Listen to your doc: It sounds like you are being treated properly.

Immobilize, crutches: Some ankle fractures simply need to properly immobilized (walking boot or cast) and some also require a period of limited or non-weight bearing with the use of crutches or a walker. The first 2 weeks are often the most important. If an ankle fracture is potentially unstable and prone to displacing, then it often does so in the first 2 weeks.
