What are the alternatives to surgery for a fractured ankle that has not healed after 8 weeks?

I got my expel off dual weeks ago, as well as have been on foot unassisted. we go to a ortho yesterday, as well as he says which given a detonate is still there he will need to put screws in it, as well as may be even a bone graft. It doesn’t have clarity since we am not carrying any issues with it. And we do not wish to have to go by a 6 weeks of liberation time all over again. Are there any alternatives to surgery?

    well you can certainly ignore the problem, until the fracture widens and leaves you crippled, and then you can consign yourself to a wheelchair, or amputation of the lower leg because of the potential for dead tissue causing gangrene. No one wants to have to go thru surgery, but sometimes, it is the lesser of two evils.
