Yes!!! The radiologists can read anything on the bone be it an injury that happened as a child to recently. The only thing that can't be seen are tissues you would need an MRI or a CT to view further into the tissues and ligaments to see for any tear.

ligaments don't show on x-rays but if there is permanent damage to the foot bone that will show. a bone density scan can show tissue damage and ligaments. Physio therapy will be helpful
but it may never be the same

Even if the injury is years old, an x-ray will show it. When you injur any body part in a serious way it never heals exactly the same way it was formed

X-rays will only show boney injuries. If you tore a ligament, the only way it will show on an X-ray is if it pulls a fragment of bone with it (avulsion fracture)

just geting an Xray or MRI? Was it broken or just strained. If broken, sprained,tear in muscle/tendon, will show up, still break in bone, tear in muscle, strained is just a muscle pull will show inflammation but not actual damage on an Xray
