Hairline Fracture

2023-01-01 08:19:35
2 weeks back, I fell down while playing tennis on my right leg. Few days back I had Xray, attached here which Dr told me that there is Hairline fracture. Need to ask like wheather it will require plaster for a month or there is any other bandage I can put on? Swelling is less now but i can not walk comfortably now and how much time requires to resume exercises and tennis?
