HI
Thank for choosing, HCM, this is purely orthopedic injury for better opinion x-ray is needed of fracture part, in bony fracture surgical intervention is always required, but some time without this better result can be achieved, consult some old timer orthopedic surgeon who practice old system of casting ( Plaster) splint, external support etc. mean while foot elevation is must along with inflammatory drug with serratiopeptidase , if you do nothing then malunion will took place and some time causes difficulty in walking, keep eye on injury side for infection part, if you notice it then consult the doctor immediately, take good care of your mother, Have a nice day.
