Medial malleolus fracture
On Feb 10 while playing cricket I fracture my right leg ankle. On Feb 25 two screws were fixed to heal the fracture. I don't want to reveal the name of the hospital. I just want to know if the screws are fixed in the correct direction. The length of the screw seems too big. The fracture is still visible even after the surgery.
