Fracture or not?: It should be determined whether you actually had a foot fracture before you can say that it healed improperly.....

Have it checked : See a foot and ankle specialist and make sure it's a fracture first. An xray would tell you. After that point, when your diagnosis is made, the doc will give you options on how to treat it and/or if it needs to be realigned.

Surgery: The area may need to be re-fractured with use of a surgical saw. The fracture would need to be fixated in the desired position with pins, staples, or screws.
