Suggest Treatment For Trimalleolar Fracture

Hi, Dr. Rynne. I have a 5 week old Trimalleolar fracture that is showing no sign of healing. I was not offered surgery. The dr I am seeing says the best he can hope for now is a solid area of scar tissue to form. This has me concerned. Should I be worried at this stage over the lack of healing? Thank you.

Hi,

I have studied your case with diligence

This can be delayed healing may be due to intra articular trimalleolar fracture
Other reasons can be poor bone stock or due to smoking/drinks
If you can send all your x ray reports I can help you better.
You can take second opinion with radiological film.

You can send your reports of x ray directly to me on
