Lateral Malleolus fracture
My mother had a fall and fractured her ankle- Lateral malleolus fracture. It's been 8 weeks since the fall. She is on cast currently. Kindly let me know when she can return to normal walking activities. She is also travelling out of country on March 23, it will be 12weeks by then. When can we have the cast removed and practice walking before travelling. Should we use ankle support or a walking boot. Kindly advise. I have attached the first xray and the latest xray image.
