Hello,
Thanks for writing to us,
I have studied your case with diligence.
Single fibre glass support is sufficient after injury.
Confirm regarding weight bearing on fractured leg.
Usually ankle fractures are kept non-weight bearing for 6 weeks.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
