if it goes untreated and is not set into a cast then yes, it can
Bone growth stimulation is the technique of promoting bone growth in difficult to heal fractures by applying a low electrical current or ultrasound to the fracture.
No, this is a myth. The idea is that the ends of the bone are still growing, so it could stunt growth if you break a bone. But this is undocumented, and there are too many benefits to lifting to neglect.
A fracture involving the growth plate in the leg bone (tibia or fibula) can potentially stunt its growth. Growth plates are specialized cartilage areas at the ends of bones that are responsible for longitudinal growth. If a fracture disrupts the growth plate, it can lead to unequal leg lengths or other growth abnormalities.
No, it does not stunt growth. The ends of the bone are still growing when young, and some people thought that if the bone was broken your growth would be stunted, but this is undocumented. Lifting is very beneficial at all ages.

Heavy lifting will not stunt your growth. Your growth depends mainly upon eating a good diet. Smoking cigarettes is known to stunt the growth of a child, mainly because it reduces appetite and so leads to an inadequate diet.
Yes, anabolic steroids can promote bone growth by increasing bone density and mineralization. They can stimulate osteoblast activity, leading to an increase in bone formation. However, prolonged use of steroids can also have negative effects on bone health, such as reducing bone strength and increasing the risk of fractures.

Yes, there are bone growth stimulators available for the ankle, usually in the form of external devices that use electrical or ultrasound mechanisms to promote bone healing and growth. These devices are used to aid in the healing of fractures, fusion procedures, or other bone-related conditions in the ankle. You should consult with your healthcare provider to determine if a bone growth stimulator is appropriate for your specific situation.
Bone cysts cause fractures and damage to bone tissue
Because teenagers are quite active they are more at risk of bone fractures unless they keep their bones healthy, i.e. dense.
