The tibia and fibula are the most common locations. The epicenter is cortical. The appearance consists of diffuse, mature cortical thickening. Severe venous insufficiency or venous ectasia can result in tibial or fibular cortical thickening secondary to mature periosteal bone formation (Fig 27).Venous stasis is probably the most common cause of diffuse cortical thickening in the tibia.tress fracture occurs at all ages, and there is no sex predilection. The location is diaphyseal in the tibia, and the epicenter is eccentric. The appearance consists of smooth cortical thickening, sometimes associated with lucent foci.
CONTEXT: Femoral shaft cortical thickening has been mentioned in reports of atypical subtrochanteric and diaphyseal (S/D) femur fractures, but it is unclear whether thickening precedes fracture or results from a preceding stress fracture and what role bisphosphonates might play in cortical thickening.ONTEXT: Femoral shaft cortical thickening has been mentioned in reports of atypical subtrochanteric and diaphyseal (S/D) femur fractures, but it is unclear whether thickening precedes fracture or results from a preceding stress fracture and what role bisphosphonates might play in cortical thickening.
