Injured was walking down smooth gradual slope & twisted his left ankle. Initially he thought it was a mild sprain, however, within a couple of days it became inflamed & he was taken to the doctor. X-rays indicated a small fracture in his ankle. Because the injured is diabetic & less likely to heal naturally, the orthopedic dr. recommends surgery to minimize complications.
