So....is it broken or not?

As most of you know, Steve is a basketball fanatic. He spends most of his spare time practicing, whether at school, home, or whatever. He has tried out for the high school basketball team every year, and gets closer to making it each year. Jr. Jazz is starting up next week, and he has had one practice with his team. Last night Steve was playing church basketball when he came down on another boy's foot. He rolled his ankle and ended up laying on his back on the floor of the gym. He couldn't even walk to the sidelines. Steve's coach is a doctor, he looked at it, and Steve was determined to play, so his coach taped it up for support and told him to try and play if he wanted to. Steve tried to stand up and couldn't even walk. So he had to sit out the entire game. (His team did win, which made him really happy.)
After the game was over, I asked Dr. Krogh if we should come into his office and see if it's broken. He said that as he was feeling Steve's ankle, he was concerned because the pain was actually on the bone, not on a tendon. He said if Steve was still having a hard time walking on it, he should come in for an x-ray.

Steve went to school this morning, and after his first class he called me and said it was hurting too bad. So I took him in for an x-ray. They took 3 x-rays of his right leg, and then 2 of his left leg to compare. They told us that it was too hard to tell if it was broken. He is supposed to stay off it for ten days, and then come back in for another x-ray, if it is broken, they will see the bone trying to heal itself, and Steve will be put in a stablizing boot. If there's no break, he should be able to walk on it in ten days.
Right now Steve is in a temporary brace with crutches. He is praying that is isn't broken, and that he'll only have to miss one Jr. Jazz game. I told him that he's only allowed to play basketball if he watches where his feet land when he jumps, he says I'm crazy. So...is it broken or not? We shall see.

On a positive note, Dr Krogh said that there is still quite a gap in Steve's growth plate, which means he still has several years of growth ahead of him. I think that was the best news we heard all day.
