[|Human|] My husband s fibula, the part that ends at the side of the knee, is sticking out. Not through the skin, but it is protruding. When he touches it , it feels tender. He is 50 years old and just talks a walk in the morning. No sports going on. What are some causes of this? Diet? etc.
[|AI|]  Hi, I value your concern regarding the symptoms. I have gone through your symptoms, and in my opinion if the fibula is protruding the first thing to rule out is either any tumor or infection, if he has had no trauma in the past. An X-ray would have cleared things very well. The treatment will depend on what the findings of investigations Fairhope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. Wishing you good health.
