My son, now 17, broke fibula (very low) in June 2009. Healed (we thought) with
cast/boot. No followup xrays after bood in mid July 2009. Began play basketball again late August. Continued through end of December, when he rolled his ankle at practice and it broke again. Thoughts were was it ever healed or only held together with fibrous tissue? Went back into cast for 4 weeks, attempted to play basketball (healing was occurring, per xrays). Played for aprox 3 weeks until season was over.
