It's the fibula that broke. I suck at walking on crutches.



If you are going to break your ankle and get only one of the two bones - good job Sunshine! You want to get the fibula. The fibula is the outside bone leading to the outside ankle bone. It is a non-weight bearing bone. Which means once the swelling goes down a bit, I bet your physician will let you put weight on it while you are wearing a Cam Walker, or something similar. That will make it nice to remove for a shower. DO NOT let them put a cast on it if at all possible!!!

It's also good news that you do not need surgery. Must mean your break has good alignment and doesn't need to be corrected. BUT ask, "What is the degree of alignment?" The radiologist that interprets the x-ray would have documented that on the x-ray report if the alignment was not perfect.
