Anteroposterial and lateral radiographs showing cortical hypertrophy (black arrow) and a ‘black line’ (white arrow) defect on the anterior cortex of the middle third of the left tibia as well as periosteal thickening and lucent line of the fracture (black thick arrow) at the same height of the fibula.
