Depends on the X-ray and what it shows or does not show.
If this is a hairline crack this is correct. Cracks in bone or steel show up on X-ray film as a thin line of "dark" due to the lack of density as compared to bone. Depending on the orientation of the crack, it is easily missed without additional exposures.
Now someone said "broken" fibula, that would not be missed.
Comments based on general knowledge of gamma ray radiography of welding...same principle. Radiography for cracks in steel welds are not an acceptable means of detection.
