A hairline fracture is a nondisplaced fracture.
The tibia is the bigger bone in the lower leg. A tibia fracture is a brake in the bone.
Pain, swelling, unbearable pain while pressure is applied.
You can tell with X-rays, but it's really not worth it. The treatment is much the same- cooling, rest and elevation. A hairline fracture doesn't normally require a cast, so just be prudent in your activities for six to eight weeks.
Why a obese person is prone to tibia fracture
Tim's leg had a hairline fracture.
A fracture is a complete break in a bone, while a hairline fracture is a small, partial crack in the bone. Hairline fractures may not be easily visible on imaging studies and can be more difficult to diagnose compared to regular fractures. Treatment for hairline fractures usually involves rest and immobilization to allow healing.
