It's possible that the chick has a slipped tendon, or another deformity called varus-valgus deformity. Sometimes a small portion of chicks with slipped tendon may be successfully treated with maneuvering the tendon back in place and splinting it with vet wrap. This may need to be redone several times a day.
Here are a few threads to read about slipped tendon:
