Whether you need surgery or a plaster cast depends on the severity of your ankle fracture and the extent of the dislocation. A mild dislocation might be treated with a cast or boot, while a more severe fracture and dislocation could require surgery to realign the bones and ligaments. Consulting with an orthopedic surgeon is crucial to determine the best treatment plan for your specific injury
