Much more information including the nature of the original injury/complaint, current physical exam findings (including mobility and pain assessment), response to treatment and recent x-rays would be required in order to assess such a case properly. I recommend you seek referral to an orthopedic specialist to assess all possible options if she is painful or her natural mobility has been affected by the injury
