Why is the fracture taking so long to heal? i fractured my distal fibula in shape of w and l all in alignment so no surgery needed. i'm now 5 months post injury and xray still doesn't show bone fully healed. why else can i do to help it heal quicker?

I would think that poor blood supply, which was damaged by the original injury, has been a factor in the delayed healing process. Electrical stimulation,specialized braces and types of specialized surgery are some treatments for this problem. . I recommend consulting a specialist in nonunion fractures at a department of orthopedic surgery at a university hospital near you.
