Hi all,

I fractured my lateral malleolus in a motorcycle accident. Its was a undisplaced fracture. Docs has put on the temporary cast to reduce swelling.
and on second visit(a week after first visit and the accident)they told me, looks like that tallus is shifting outwards towards fibula, and hence its better for me to go for ORIF. I underwent the surgery, as told by the doc.

Here are my questions :
1. Can someone examine the xrays attached(accident day and a week after) and tell me what were the chances of getting healed without surgery?
2. How many weeks after operation does it looks like from my injury, that i will be able to drive again ?

Thanks,
