Hello,

The fracture is probably picked up by X-ray. The fracture requires immobilization. I suggest you to consult an orthopedist for immobilization.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

According to the result, it doesn’t need surgery but immobilization immediately. However an orthopedic specialist is needed to see you closely just for safety.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
