A green stick fracture?
According to mayoclinic.com, "A child's bones are softer and mote flexible than those of an adult, so they're more likely to break completely. This flexibility can result in a greenstick fracture. In a greenstick fracture, the bone cracks but doesn't break all the way through -- like when when you try to break a green stick of wood." Also they can be hard to diagnose because symptoms occasionally don't show up. Treatment involves immobilization of the bone so that it will grow back properly. A cast or removable splint might be used. Seek medical treatment if your child is experiencing difficulty bearing weight or can not move the injured limb much. Hopefully this helps! :)

Can Osteomyelitis cause bone cancer if left untreated?
Osteomyelitis, is an infection of the bone, which is difficulty to treat due to low blood flow. Treatment is long (like 4 weeks) and usually via IV antibiotics.

What is the difference between a chip fracture of the foot and a hairline fracture?
I'm pretty sure if you have a chip fracture it means that a piece of the bone has been chipped off. A hairline fracture means the bone is broken. However the break is very minor and most likely isn't broken all the way through.
