Based on your profession and work needs,
Although this is a mid shaft fibula fracture, if you conserve it (plaster) less changes of someone reducing it are there. You may end with a bony deformity , although it might not appear clinically.
Minimum plaster is 4-6 weeks. Sometimes docs don't even advice plaster etc for this. Even in that scenario, reducing it is almost impossible as the big bone(tibia is intact) .
Next Steps
Consult online.
Health Tips
You have a option of getting is fixed if you don't want any bony deformity and early return to work.
Also, plaster related complications like muscle wasting, stiffness are not encountered.
