I've had flat feet since childhood and it's causing me a lot of pain now, especially when standing for long hours. Is there any permanent solution for this or would I need surgery? If surgery is the only option, can you recommend the best specialist for flat feet correction? I'm really worried about how this might affect me long-term.

It's been four months since my fracture and I'm still using a walker. The x-ray shows a separate bone fragment will this heal on its own or will I need surgery to fix it?
Whether a separate bone fragment will heal on its own or require surgery depends on several factors, including the size of the fragment, its location, and whether it's causing any pain, functional limitations, or damage to nearby tissues. If it's been four months since the fracture and the fragment hasn't healed, it's possible that it's a non-union fracture, meaning the bone pieces haven't joined together. In these cases, surgery might be necessary to try to promote healing or remove the fragment.
