Bipartate metatarsals

My 4 year old experiences a lot of pain in his foot. Her has been seen by a rheumatologist but we have found nothing. He recently had an xray that shows his 2nd and 4th metatarsals are bipartate.
what exactly does this mean? Is this why he experiences so much pain?
Thanks

    This means in 2 parts. It is highly unusual. Are you sure they are not mistaking the growth plate for this? It would be helpful to see an x-ray. I strongly recommend you see a podiatrist or orthopedist.
