Hello Claire, It is always hard to tell by a picture but I had bones with similar pathology from a Middle Age Castle in Sweden. An x-ray could help. Could it be that the Middle interosseus muscle attached at the distal end acutally has been put in to stress for a longer time. The bone answer by develop more bone and by that getting stronger.
