History Of Ankle Fracture. Have Hairline Fracture Of Fibula, Swollen And Painful Knee. Treatment?
I was diagnosed with a hair line fracture to Fibula Head. My question is what is the typical treatment and time frame for recovery?? I broke my ankle three years ago by rolling it and fell last week on my same leg. My knee was swelling and painful to walk on. I have an appointment with a Orthopedic Specialist this week. I also broke my right arm so crutches won't work.
