Chip fracture of medial malleolus needs casting ?

Question

i have had an inversion injury at ankle 2 weeks back after which i could bear weight immediately and have no swelling or echymosis..however i have some pain at the site when i walk..should i go for a cast at ankle or a brace would be enough to get the healing which is not visible on x-rays ?

Answer 1

If you have a chip fracture, your doctor should have properly treated you. Ask him/her about it. If you don't, a brace will suffice.
