Brief Answer:
Fibular fracture to be treated conservatively, consider tibia as well.
Detailed Answer:
Welcome back XXXX.
Sorry for the delay, I wasn't able to respond you before because of technical issues.
I examined the x-rays you uploaded and my opinion is that there is a fracture of fibular bone that needs to be treated conservatively ( immobilization with gypsum cast ) for three to four weeks.
But, there is necessary also for a reevaluation of the tibial plateau about a possible fracture with new x-rays of this region.
In case of tibial plateau fracture confirmation, surgery may be necessary.
Discuss with your Orthopedic Surgeon about these issues.
Hope I helped you.
Kind regards.
