Follow up: You would certainly want to continue followup with your doctor. You could be in a normal healing process as talus fractures take several weeks to heal, or there are complications that can occur like a non Union or avascular necrosis. Keep your appointments and follow their restrictions with regard to weight bearing status.

I was in a car accident on Dec 2. My leg was black and blue below the knee on the side. x ray showed no broken bones. Today it is still very swollen and red and feels warm to the touch. Could a torn ligament cause this?
