A member asked:
I got one xray done for my son (1 yr 2m old) report says that "dense white line seen at distal end of radius and ulna, what does this mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
HARD TO SAY: Such lines could signify a period of growth arrest due to poor health or nutrition, or a heavy metal deposition like lead, or other possibilities. The ability to look at the X-rays these and other bones would allow a better assessment .
