This X-ray shouldn’t have been taken, as we do not need X-ray to diagnose the problem.
The ankle should have been reduced prior to the X-ray.
Need operative fixation to achieve a good outcome in ideal circumstances.

I do not agree with the previous comment
As a x-ray will take only few minutes to take but would reveal valuable information such as associated injuries ( as in this case the fibula fracture)the outcome with the data obtained through x-ray would greatly improve the operative care that can be given to such patients.
The delay in obtaining the x-ray probably by few minutes would not be a waste or irreparable loss.
As for the definitive treatment, ankle has to be reduced under GA and fibula needs to be fixed preferably with a plate/screws.
