Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
You didn't mentioned type of fracture and what sort of treatment you received.
Cast was applied or surgical intervention was done.
At present, you need X-ray of foot in AP/Oblique view to assess fracture status.
You should also contact orthopaedician.
Treatment depends upon recent X-ray findings.
Get well soon.
Take Care
