My younger brother's ankles protrude inwards so that his feet are further out than his ankles. he's been to the doctors and told it was 'puberty'?

Flat feet: It sounds like your brother has flat feet (pea planus) and might require inserts (orthotics), if he has symptoms such as ankle or knee pains.
