A accident happened with me on 18th Jan .I fell down from 7.8 ft high and got a calcaneus fracture to heel. Also a injury near ankle. Dr.inserted spring rod from outside to heel on 24th Jan. Due to injury plaster can not be done. Still injury or wound not heeling properly. What will be the reason and what to be done to heel injury faster. Now how much time required to get over all this as yet to be plaster done. Means after plaster to my heel when should I have to try put my leg on floor.
