Will i ever run again? have a closed displaced medial malleolus o right tibia, currently non-union 4 months in. doc approves weight bearing (painful)

Fix it.: If you have a displaced medial malleolar fracture that has not healed (in part likely because it is displaced). You might want to consider having fixed with the very real likelihood if returning to full activity by 8-12 weeks. At 22, you are too young to not have it corrected and to have to live with any long term restrictions.
