hey, i am to do an initial examination on a patient who has just had a cast removed after 3 weeks following an inversion injury resulting in ankle sprain and fracture of fibula. I am just wondering if the fibula fracture should warrant altering any of my assessment or should i just continue as I would with just a lateral ankle sprain assessment? I was planning to assess both active and passive movements, muscle strength, and circumference to address swelling and atrophy. any thoughts on this or something else i should include ?
