Is It Normal To Have Dents In Shin Bone Post Injury?
Hello, 7 years ago I took a nasty fall on stairs and injured my shin. Basically my left shin hit the stair across ways and I had a nasty bruise that lasted years. Even now the area is still darker. But my question is regarding the shin bone, when I touch it there are obvious dents in the area of the injury, in a particular spot it feels like a hard marble. I m pretty sure it s been there since the injury. Is this normal?Thanks

symptoless dents may meannothing just ignore.Some new bone formation occurs sub periostealy (under sheath of bone) soon after healing and has no significance
