Why Am I Having Dent On The Top Of My Skull And Tibia Of My Left Leg?

I just discovered a dent on the top of my skull that was not there just a few days ago. I haven t been in any accidents or hit my head! What s strange is that I have a dent in the tibia on my left leg that mysteriously appeared a few years ago, and there was no trauma to that area either. What could be wrong?

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

A dent on the skull can happen due to osteoporotic changes in the bones. The dent on tibia can be related to shin splints. Direct examination will help in confirmation.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr Praveen Tayal, Orthopaedic Surgeon
