Brief Answer:
Ankle fracture- bimalleolar.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
I have seen the attached X-ray images. There seems to be a bimalleolar fracture due to twisting of the foot. The fractured fragments are minimally displaced and need proper examination by an orthopedician for treatment. It can heal on conservative treatment in POP cast for 6 weeks.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
