Broke Ankle Both Tibula And Fibula, Suggested For Surgery, Outside Ankle Bone Slowly Healing. Will It Heal Correctly?

Broke ankle both tibula and fibula doctor said needed surgery. Never got it. Happen two months ago. Swelling gone . Foot looks normal. Can feel onside heald . Outside ankle bone has not healed though. On krutchs . but if i try i can walk/limp. No vissible defomitys. Think outside bone bearly started hea healing last week. No longer shifts when i tilt leg. Have no cast just temporary casting. I wrap it up like a sprung ankle. Will i heal correctly? Will i be able to walk normally ? Again foot looks almost normal in color n minimal swelling.
