A bone contusion (aka a bone bruise) and a low grade stress fracture can look the exact same on MRI and can be undetectable on X-Ray. Displaced fractures are pretty hard to miss. More details are needed in this situation.

Bone bruise or stress fx wouldn't require surgery though. Has to be displaced or comminuted to require surgery
