There was a difference in level between the invert concrete and the sand backfill of about 35mm which caused the IP to step awkwardly on his ankle. At the hospital, an X-ray revealed that the IP had suffered “Avulsion Fracture to the left Distal Fibula”. The IP was given an aircast boot and crutches and has been advised to refer to the fracture clinic when swelling has gone down. An investigation has commenced.
