How can you break your tibia bone without knowing?

I have the answer to that question. The only true way to know if your tibia is broken is by a bone scan. I walked around with a broken tibia for a year and a half without knowing. The Doctors could not see it on the x-ray and because i had a partial knee replacement they could not do a bone scan. The broken tibia was not found until they open me up for my total knee replacement. I hope that helped
