Xray review request

2018-01-25 17:49:51
Hello, I just sliped and twisted my left ankle. I didn't have a lot of pain but my foot was completely swolen purple. I did my xray done and got the report. Can you please tell me if this is a fracture or not. Also if I need any plaster?

I have a strong suspicion that you have a 5th metatarsal fracture. Treatment can be surgical with screws or conservative with walking synthetic cast for 6 weeks. Ankle sprain if present needs to be confirmed by Orthopaedic Surgeon clinically.
Next Steps
Apply ice packs locally . Keep affected foot elevated. Medications like Enzomac and Tendocare will help.
Health Tips
Do not worry.
