Suggest Treatment For Upper Fibula Fracture

Hello. My son broke his leg in 3 places; the upper fibula=complete break with off-set that looked nasty on the x-ray, and in 2 places for tibia. He got 6 screws in the tibia, but nothing for the fibula. Is it normal that he should get nothing done to the upper fibula break? He says he keeps hearing cracking and popping in his leg, which the surgeon shrugged off as being the cast. I m still concerned. Thanks for your answer.
