Lateral Maleoulus fracture
I met with a road accident.. I was diagnosed with laterlais Maleoulus fracture by the senior doctor.
The junior doctor messed up the prescription because of which the further treatment suffered.
Initially the junior doctor and the intern only identified soft tissue injury.. Which later was corrected by the senior doctor saying hairline farcature malleolus lateralis.
So the procedure was supposed to be like.. Slab for a week and then cast for 4 or 6 weeks.
But due to lack of writing correctly on the prescription ... It was later treated just as soft tissue injury.

Don't worry.
Just take adequate rest - means walk only for essentials like restroom and inside house only for 1 week
Apply local ice packs
Keep the leg elevated over 1 pillow
Take pain medications only if pain
If pain and swelling is persistent after 2 weeks review X ray will be needed.
Take care
