Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
To know the kind of fracture she has had, evaluation of the X-rays is necessary. You can consult an orthopedician for proper diagnosis and treatment. Meanwhile avoid weight bearing on the foot and keep the foot elevated on two pillows.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. You can consult me again directly through my profile URL http://bit.ly/Dr-Rakhi-Tayal
