By the 'chest bone' do you mean the sternum? And which 'lower leg bone', the tibia or the fibula? If by 'chest bone' you mean the sternum, both of the 'lower leg bones' are longer.
What does it mean if there is a small bony density adjacent to the medial aspect of the distal fibula epiphysis?
It could be a bone chip or an osteophyte. Ask your health care provider, who has the benefit of seeing the image and doing a history and physical on you.
How long does it take for fracture on the lower one third of fibula bone to heal?
The "fibia" is not a bone. There are 2 bones that make up the lower leg, the tibia and fibula. The fibula is not a weight bearing bone and doctors usually dont do anything about it. The fibula is weight bearing, and depending on age, it usually heals in about 6 weeks. But that doesnt mean that it doesnt still hurt. If the patient is geriatric age, their bones take longer to heal.

Is surgery necessary for broken fibula?
No, you don't need an operation, unless an operation is needed to fix it! What I mean by that is that only if your surgeon recommends an operation to fix a broken fibula should you consider having one. You don't need a joined up fibula to walk or run or do anything that you would normally do, as the fibula normally only carries around 10% of your body weight. Without it and your tibia will bear the weight. I broke both my tib and fib some years ago, and still have a rod and pin in my tib. But my fibula never heald and still has a gap of around an inch in it. I mountainbike, rugby referee and skydive without any adverse effect.
