3 days ago I did a backflip off of a block and onto a mat. They were about a foot apart. I landed on my ankle weird and I heard it pop. It still hurts when I walk on it. What do you think I did to it?

@woodlandscheer see a doc

Thanks for the great video. I finally understand what I did to my ankle. I fell and fractured my ankle on 12/5/11. It was a trimalleolar fracture with spiral fractures. Doc said no surgery need since the bones were not displaced.

I spent the first 4 weeks in a hard cast. I am now on week 3 of 4 in a cam boot still no weight bearing. I am allowed to start putting 50% weight while in the house. I will find out what is the next step in a week.

Does it usually take longer to heal with no surgery

@Skinsgirl212 depends on the fracture,the doctor selects the best treatment for each patient

3 days ago I did a backflip off of a block and onto a mat. I landed on my ankle weird and I heard it pop and it still hurts. I've been telling my mom, but she just says " you'll be fine" What do I do? Do you know what has maybe happened to my ankle?? Please respond soon!! :(

@robosone it varies according to the injury

Very good video. Very helpful. I broke my ankle on December 24th 2011. It is a bimalleolar fracture that didn't require surgery. I am still in a cast that is due to come off February 1st. Will I get some sort of air boot or will it be left as is when it comes out of the cast? And how long before I can walk properly? Thanks Dr.
