Fracture at tip of laetral malleolus- after 1-wk on back slap bandage & now on boot. i didn't use during sleeping & bathing. will it delay recovery?

Wear the boot: You should wear your cam boot on all weightbearing gait or standing. Even if that means standing in the shower. You should you use a plastic chair to shower, enabling you to sit while bathing. But sleep you dont need a boot. In terms of delayed healing, any of my patients that bear weight on their foot w/o a boot in my eyes is delaying the treatment.
