My brother recently fractured his lateral malleolus as well. The ortho is saying that it is a spiral fracture as well as a facture at the distal end. He has been in a WB cast since he got it on. He is also using an EBI bone stimulator 10 hours/day. After 2 weeks the fracture at the distal shows complete union but the spiral shows some calcification but not much. He is wanting to come back and play football with in the next week. He has an appointment on Tuesday to get the cast off. What is your opinion on the healing time and playing of football? Also what is your opinion on use of bone stimulator and their effect on fracture healing time?
