    This may be a serious injury which requires a knowledgeable evaluation by a podiatrist or orthopedist who has extensive experience with young and growing patients. As with any injury, it requires decisions based on the specific merits of the case. I would recommend that instead of obtaining information from the Internet, you spend your time determining the best doctor to assess and treat the condition.
