Abnormality And Swelling In Leg, Fractured, Neurofibroma. Done XRay. What Is The Best Solution?

HI sir, I'm from Hyderabad. I have a 3 months baby boy. There is some abnormality in his bone in the left leg. Just above the feet, the bone is in bending position by birth. after one month, it has started swelling. Then i went to the doctor. He tested it by taking x-ray and says that there is a fracture on the bone and it is a disease called Neurofibroma. He also told me that multiple surgeries are required to the bone of my child, but that is also not sure to recover from that disease. Give me a solution sir, please.
Thank you.

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
If it is actually a neurofibroma then surgery is the only way out. You need to confirm the diagnosis with an MRI scan and consult a pediatric orthopedician for proper guidance.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
