Hi my husband broke his ankle on the 11th may he took the cast off after 5 weeks as we were going on holiday. it is still very bruised and swollen?

Orthopedist?: Without knowing the exact fracture i could not give a correct answer to that. I suggest you contact the orthopedist or physician who had treated this injury.

Ask the doc treating: It typically takes 6-8 weeks for a fracture to heal. He needs to ask the doctor currently treating his condition. Your question is a bit vague - did your husband take off the cast? Bring him back to his doctor.
