    Re: Fractured lateral malleolus

    hi walker and sethwood,

    Sorry for late replies.

    Sethwood, would need more info if you want more specific advice.

    Walker, I want to know why you are in so much pain to be honest. In the boot, it should be feeling ok. Any more info?

    Thanks

    The goal of physiotherapy is to restore optimum function - that is to move freely and maintain positions without causing damage either now or in the future. This requires the assessment and restoration of efficient load transfer throughout the whole body.

    Sorry I wasn't clear. The day after I broke it I could not put on the boot because it was too tight. Touching or pushing the spot where the break is was torture. The swelling has gone down. Cast is off. Now walking around with and without boot (outside only with boot on). Start physio tomorrow, strength, ROM, mobility. R.I.C.E ah-roni as often as I can. By the way the Breg Polorcare 300 with ankle pad is awesome!

    Again, thanks to this site I was calmed down about my break. I'm still not clear how the tip will reattach back to the fibula. Also, it seems it will be quite sometime before I can march around and go hiking.
