Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...my grandaughter broke her leg last year and now has a lump on her shin the ortho doc says it;s not calcium deposit and the pediatrician doesn t know what it is suggest MRI isn t that a bit extreme?
Hi.it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general or an orthopedic surgeon, for medical and physical examination. If the lesion is persistent and progressive, it is best if it is evaluated clinically. An initial x-ray and MRI will be of great help if it is confirmed that a mass/lesion is present. Tissue diagnosis through a biopsy may also be suggested. Management will be directed accordingly. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor.
