Fractured fibula

2017-04-27 12:02:42
I fractured my fibula while playing basketball, I fell hard and as soon as I fell, I heard some cracks. It has two fractures and it is really bent. I saw a deformation on my skin right after the fall. A doctor said that I should get a surgery while another doctor suggests that I do not because it will heal again. I am really confused
