Guide To Fibrous Dysplasia Warning Signs

Leg Bone Curvature

Leg bone curvature is a common symptom when one or more bones in the legs are affected, typically the thighbone and shinbone. An individual's thighs and shins bear the majority of their weight when they walk. If the bones are weakened by fibrous tissue, they can't provide the same support individuals need, which can cause the bones to curve and deform in response to consistent pressure. The deformed bones have an increased likelihood of fracturing. It's important for patients to see a doctor if they observe any changes in the shape of the bones. Other symptoms include a difference in the length of limbs and unusual swelling.
