Broke Fibula During Dance Practice. Met With Car Accident Earlier. Injury Related To Car Accident?
My daughter was in an car accident november of 2012 with no apparent injuries no xrays to confirm but two months later she was practicing at poms-dance and broke her fibula . Could her fibula been fractured during the time of the car accident and had no pain but aggavated the facture to a brake during her practice? Could this injury be related to vehicle accident?

Helloo ... A simple X-ray / Ct scan would give u the answer, a fresh fracture will have NO new bone formation at the broken tips of the bone while an old fracture will show a lot of new bone formation and the healing line would be visible.
A hair-line fracture at the time of the accident may have occurred, but it does produce some local pain especially on walking / exercising. It needs only rest as a treatment.
So, now that the fracture is present it does need treatment. Hope u have got your doubts cleared, with best wishes
