Review Question - QID 3940

Figures A to C show radiographs of a 55 year-old male who fell on the ice 5 days ago. He could initially walk after the fall, but he is now unable to weight-bear on the leg due to pain. Physical examination shows diffuse ankle swelling, with no medial sided ankle tenderness. He is neurovascularly intact. The patient does not smoke and has no medical history. A gravity stress radiograph is demonstrated in Figure D. After closed reduction, there is 2 mm of fracture displacement, no talar shift and the talocrural angle = 83 degrees. What is the most appropriate treatment?
