How Should A Fibula Fracture Be Treated?

My fiance is in prision. He broke his fibia in 2 places while playing basketball. The medical staff on-site wrapped up his leg in a brace & gave him Tylenol 3, which is making him sick to his stomach. Shouldn't his leg be put in a cast? I've ready alot of other people's stories of having the same injury & many have had to get surgery & all were put in a cast. He's afraid he's not getting the proper medical attention & hopes there won't be long-term problems with his leg.
