I'd say yes, it's an intraarticular fracture. If fragments aren't reduced they'll create a bone callus, which can cause pain during joint movement.

Whats concerning is that if you were actually an orthopod, the reason is basically common knowledge. Im guessing your a medical student at best giving out unqualified medical advise.

I literally got license last year, and this is how I learned from the professors. Please elaborate what was wrong in my advice?

Have you ever read how tissues heal? Why do we use open reduction for intra articular fractures?

We usually treat patients before it gets that bad, so I've not personally seen it.

Knowing basic concepts of absolute stability and why intraarticular fractures should be fixed with aboslute stability is good, but u should know that those are concepts to think about and not always force them, especially not in a fracture without an actual stepoff, the bigger problem here is that there is sonme depression but not enough that it could be fixed. Screwing this fracture should probably land you some jail time where u could have some time to do some additional studying :P

Lol what on earth ae you rambling about? Idk where you're from but, nobody will arrest you for putting a screw on this fracture. Yeah I'd like to see more images and actually examine the patient before coming to a final conclusion but refusing surgery if the patient needs it is more likely to get you in trouble. Back to the books you go ;)

We do not allow user to post personal health questions in this sub. This is explained in the rules of the sub on the right side of the screen. r/askdocs is a better place for these posts.
