Damaged tibia. Coloured X-ray (left) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan (right) of the right leg of a 40-year-old patient, showing bone necrosis (cell death) of the metaphysis of the tibia, due to trauma. Hyperintensity (dense white region, right) over the distal half of the tibia suggests the presence of an abscess.
