Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
The 4 mm density is most likely an artifact that is seen in the image. Artifact is an undesirable structure or substance not normally present but produced by an external agent or action and not connected to your knee injury. It may be due to technical reasons while taking the X ray. Your X ray is normal otherwise.
