I broke my ankle last month, spiral fracture of the distal fibula. After 6 weeks (four of which I wore an Aircast), it looks like it's fused, but not aligned, as in the image below (somewhat exaggerated, the misalignment is actually about 20%). The doctor says not to be concerned, but I'm worried whether it would not be better for them to surgically break and align it. The misalignment would decrease strength in that spot, and soft tissue could be more damaged more from the sharp bone sticking out if there's a hit above that area, I'm pretty thin.
