AND, as I pointed out in the other thread, that exact kind of break
(as long as there is no ligament damage), is not a big deal (once
treated) and you can certainly be walking with a walking cast or brace
within a week or so.  I know because I had a break where Carter's had
to be (lower tibia and fibula) from where it was splinted.
