Hi doctors, was just wondering what is a deep tissue bruise of the metatarsal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Metatarsal is bone: Bone itself is not often referred to as tissue. A deep bruise of the bone is often related to bone marrow edema without any break in the cortex or outer shell of bone. A deep bruise of tissue is synonomous with a contusion.
