What Causes A Dent In The Tibia At The Fracture Site?
I HAVE A DENT IN MY TIBIA ABOUT 1/3 OF THE WAY UP. I JUST NOTICED IT. I HAD A STRESS FRACTURE 3 MONTHS AGO IN THE SAME AREA AND A BONE CYST WAS SEEN ON THE MRI. PAIN HAS GONE EXCEPT FOR MOMENTARY GLITCHES OF PAIN IN THE BONE BUT THIS DENT JUST CAME UP THIS MORNING. SHOULD I CALL MY ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON?

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
