Not actually that rare to see. Reabsorption of bone is fairly common place in non unionized fractures that don't end up getting good blood flow. Osteoclasts will breakdown the bone fragments that don't unionize, especially if the bone isn't really responsible for weight bearing.
The only thing thats fake about this is a group of doctors being mystified by any of it.
Maybe it was a teaching hospital like on the tv show scrubs?
Nah, I practice at a teaching hospital. Knowing about reabsorption is stuff you learn when you learn about osteoclasts in med school. If you make it to a residency without knowing about osteoclasts, something horrible has happened.
Nah i mean the teaching doctor might take the opportunity to show the residents an example of it, and the patient perspective given here is totally off, but they're just guessing why a bunch of doctors are all gathered around to look at the xray.
