Hi, it appears that it has a crack line fracture, and needs some more time of immobilization. Your doctor may take an M.R.I. and decide the plan of treatment. Dont worry you will be fine after immobilization for 6 weeks. Other cause could be direct starting of moving with out physiotherapy. Thank you.
