instruction: hello doctor my partner who is 36 years old broke his ankle fibula break before 5 weeks I had been for his appointment where he had an ray and found that the bone has not knitted together he smokes approximately 10 cigarettes per day I have found through online research that smoking hinders bone healing and have advised him to stop even if short term to assist with the healing of the broken bone he had cast for three weeks and then was transferred to a walking boot with vague instructions on how to deal with it he is being told that he should be walking more on the ankle which is broken but he is worried as he will cause more damage as it is not yet aligned also should he be wearing his walking boot at all times he wears while sleeping and he removes it while bathing daily please explain to him that how the bone will heal and whether he should be wearing his boot all the time
output: hi revert back with the ray report to an orthopaedician and traumatologist online
