NORMAL: THE EDGEOF THE SHIN BONE OR TIBIA, IS NORMALLY COVERED ONLY BY A THIN TISSUE CALLED PERIOSTEUM. OVER THAT IS ONLY THE SKIN. FAT AND SWELLING CAN DISGUISE THE EDGE MAKING IT HARDER TO FEEL. THE BONE EXTENDS MEDIALLY FOR 3-4 CENTIMETERS JUST UNDER THE SKIN. SUPERFICIAL NATURE REQUIRED EXTRA PROTECTION IN ANCIENT WARFARE CALLED SHEAVES.
