Hi,
Here there are some possibilities.
1 may be the X-ray interpretation is wrong!
2 it is not a bony deformity but something in soft tissues.
3 is the deformity confirmed by an doctor or only you think there is some problem.
So better get the child examined by a different pediatrician or orthopedic doctor and decide.
We can not unnecessarily expose the child to xrays!
GOOD LUCK
