A member asked:
My orthopedist located a cyst on the tibia with a hair line fracture is there any cause for concern?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Consult your doctor: This question really can't be adequately answered online. Presumably the cyst is benign, and most hairline fractures will heal uneventfully with conservative treatment, but your question really needs to be discussed in person with an orthopedist who can review your imaging studies.
