Good Day and thank you for being with Healthcare Magic!

Yes a sliver or a stone fragment can be lodged in the urethra any may develop fibrosis (tissue growth over the stone) over time. Although this is a rare occurence but can happen. To rule out or confirm the diagnosis I would recommend doing an ultrasound of the urethra since any calcification or stone can be readily seen by an ultrasound.

I hope I have succeeded in providing the information you were looking for. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications at: http://www.HealthcareMagic.com/doctors/dr-manuel-c-see-iv/66014 I would gladly help you. Best wishes.
