A member asked:

I suffered a distal fibular fracture with slight widening of the mortise 7 weeks ago and i am weight bearing as tolerated. when i put full weight i feel it hurt under the lateral malleolus. is this part of my break or something else?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Any widening of the ankle mortis can make you susceptible to irritation and later arthritis. You are at a young enough age where repairing the anatomical ankle mortise is important. You do not have a lot of time to get this evaluated before destruction of the joint is irreparable. You might want to see a second opinion for something like this. without viewing x-rays decision is impossible
