After a fracture has healed, the area that was broken now looks thicker and/or heavier. This is due to deposition of thickened cartilage.
Some of this deposition may be permanent and solid, while some may be soft and fluid until it hardens. Either way, it is very fascinating to watch as the process happens.
Once it has happened, there are several ways to deal with it. Some people just let the weight sit on top of themselves, hoping it will eventually come down. Others use medical compression or traction devices to bring the weight off of themselves.

Hypertrophy of the proximal fragment after healing of a distal femoral fracture is a rare condition. It occurs when the bone heals over the area where the femur meets the shinbone.
Hypertrophy of the proximal fragment after healing of a distal femoral fracture can occur as an area of thickened bone or multiple areas. It also can occur as one piece of bone or multiple pieces. Occasionally, it can occur in both ends of a bone, like in your ankle where it may be painful to walk on both knees.
Anatomyically, hypertrophy of the proximal fragment after healing of a distal femoral fracture looks like an enlarged region around a broken bone, with some thickening around it that appears solid. Physically, it may feel heavy or listen louder than another broken bone due to some thickening occurring.
If you have this condition, you should be monitored closely for any pain or signs that your bone is growing thicker because of this.
