Hairline Frac Navicular  Concern

2024-06-15 15:29:05
Dear Sir, I had ankle twisting on 26-Apr-24, hairlined crack on navicular & talus went undiagnosed initially in Xray, I carried out regualr activites untill 15-May-24, I used to have pain & swelling during acvitiy time and subsised at rest, I got MRI on 15th May and seen undisplaced fracture on navicular and little on talus. As per local doc suggestion I took ankle brace and non weight Bearing from 15th May to 14th Jun, Doc suggested try to walk normally with light activity,, and I'm just trying to walk lightly, but still I'm having pain over the ankle arch area during walk time... should I need to continue walk or is this pain will subside  gradually or should I need to go further investigation? will it become non union ? I want to get out of this pain as soon as possible. Almost from last 45 days I'm facing this concern. Attached  xray report of 14th Jun, MRI report of 15th May.

Please keep it non weight bearing for next 3 weeks with BK cast as it seemed you maintained your daily activities with weight bearing with ankle brace. We will repeat xray after 3 weeks. Till then take tab phlogam and tab etova 400 BD for next 20 days.
