Help on Fracture of Distal end of Fibula
Hello, My aunty fell down from a step and her right leg got injured, upon xray the report mentioned that it is a Minimally displaced fracture of distal end of fibula. I consulted few docs and some advised rest and crape bandage and some advised surgery and placing a titanium plate, considering her age of 60+ and being diabetic, we are worried on her post surgery complications. Could anyone help on advise on how to proceed. Thanks in Advance.
