Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.

If you do not have any pain or weakness in the legs, nothing to worry and chances for future problems are rare. If you are experiencing pain and discomfort an X-ray may be done.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
