Broken fibula?
I am an optimist and I suspect nothing major has happened. I would ice it and elevate for a couple days. Good idea to repeat X-rays and ensure stability. Re-fracture is unlikely, but better check. Good luck and Happy thanksgiving! NIcola Fabbri READ MORE

Why does my knee feel suddenly weak and buckle?
There are several reasons why a knee may “buckle”. It requires a careful review of past history, including previous injury, activity and surgery, meticulous physical examination and imaging. It may be caused by patello-femoral pain, quad weakness, knee laxity due to previous ligamentous injury or various combination of these factors. Best regards, Nicola Fabbri READ MORE
How do doctors treat a crush injury?
You should ideally have X-rays taken, to ensure you didn’t fracture your fingers and in case you would protect them. Then the soft tissue will heal on their own, if there is laceration, it should be addressed as necessary. Best regards, NF READ MORE
How can I manage the pain in my elbow?
Pain in the elbow after trauma should definitely be assessed by physical examination and X-rays. Best regards, NF READ MORE
What is a discogram?
Discogram is an imaging technique of the spine to identify painful discs. Its value is today controversial, as many surgeons currently prefer MRI as initial imaging modality of the spine. Best regards, NF READ MORE
Does wrapping a sprained ankle help it heal faster?
Yes it will. Protection, Resting, Icing, Compression and Elevation, usually referred with the acronym PRICE, is the best nonoperative approach. Best regards, NF READ MORE

I think unlikely, but should be seen by a pediatric orthopedic surgeon. NF READ MORE
Do you need to have corrective surgery for scoliosis?
Thanks for your question. It really depends upon symptoms, severity of the curve, etiology of the curve, patient’s age and other prognostic factors for scoliosis. In the absence of significant pain or limitation, adults with moderate scoliosis of lumbar or even thiraco-lumbar region even up io 15-20 degrees so not need surgery. Indon’t Know your age but a corset may help. Having said that, scoliosis is not my central area of expertise. All the best, Nicola Fabbri READ MORE
