My doctor says I need surgery for a medial malleolus fracture but I heard it can heal without it. Is surgery always necessary or are there cases where it can heal on its own? What factors decide whether to go for surgery or not?

Surgery depends on displacement, stability, and patient activity; conservative treatment works for non-displaced fractures.
