Brace okay for this?
Dear doctors,
I had a small accident and on xray there is a small crack visible on attached xray. The doctor gave me some medicines for pain and swelling along with calcium and VitD shots.
Also, to avoid straightening of the leg, a brace has been put for a month.
Can someone confirm if this would fix my crack?
