 [ Symptoms ] i am ballet dancer have slightly fractured ankle should i have surgery [ Disease ] hi i am an orthopaedic surgeon and at our clinic we have successfully treated patients with such type of fractures and ligament injuries by plaster cast immobilisation and strict non weight bearing this should be done for atleast 4 6 weeks taking calcium and vitamin d tablets will speed up the recovery process a check xray has to be done before removing the cast to confirm union the fractured fragments are not displaced and i do not see any reason for a surgery surgery will cause more harm than benefits thanks
