Dr. Joshua,
I have been involved in a motor vehicle accident five six weeks ago where i was struck by a car. I as admitted to the emergency room where they failed to diagnose my broken fibula. I then got a second opinion where the fracture was overlooked again a few weeks later. Returning to the same doctor weeks later with the same leg pain complaint he orders an MRI and finds the break in my leg and orders new x rays that i got to see. the break is very obvious. he still after this will not treat the fractured fibula. he says i will be fine in a few years. not to run for a year or do anything strenuous. i think this is crazy. what do you think? what is normally done to treat a fractured fibula?
