Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I broke my fibula on Oct 29th - non displaced lower fracture about 4 inches above the ankle. I have a ankle brace now but have noted increase swelling and pain over the past week to the fractured area. SHould I be concerned about compartment syndrome? I have been full weight bearing and wear my walking boot at home as it is more comfortable.
