A member asked:

9 year olds x-ray showed accessory ossification affecting distal fibula. have put in a cast but also said could be partial evulsion - which is better?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Does not matter: The treatment would be the same for either problem or though the partial avulsion may heal faster.
