Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
Periosteal thickening can be seen in callus formation in a fracture or with slowly growing tumours. It is important to know when you had the accident. There is no clear mention of fracture in your report so it is supposed that the periosteal thickening might be a benign harmless preexisting condition.
