Son broken ankle ?

Posted , 7 users are following.

My son cracked his ankle with a cricket bat at weekend, he had an xray on monday and they said they cant tell if the fibula is broken, he said it looks to be a break but is unclear? He is now in a soft cast until next tuesday when we return to frature clinic for another xray.

He cant bare weight on it and hurts if he tries to move his foot up and down slightly.

Does anyone know why it was unclear on xray ?

      We are back at hospital tomorrow.

      He is now able to walk on it but it swells around the front across the the top of his ankle. And only gets pain on and off.

      I wasnt going to return to the hospital as i thought it was healed but with this patch of swelling that pops up im going to get to checked just to get the all clear officially.
