I injured my right foot/leg on 08.04.2026. Initial X-ray is attached. I had a temporary cast for 10 days followed by a permanent cast for 21 days. Today, the cast was removed, and a new X-ray is attached.
Please review the X-rays and advise whether there is improvement/healing, and recommend the next steps for further recovery.
