osteosclerotic
This could be the right word.
"Any pathological damage occurring in a bone will produce either an osteolytic or osteosclerotic lesion".
"Any pathological damage occurring in a bone will produce either an osteolytic or osteosclerotic lesion".

bone thickening/hyperostosis
Perhaps it is referring to bone thickening - I think the medical term is hyperostosis:
"Repeated stress results in the bone thickening at the points of maximum stress. It has been hypothesized that this is a result of bone's piezoelectric properties, which cause bone to generate small electrical potentials under stress."
"hyperostosis
....
Excessive or abnormal thickening or growth of bone tissue"
Hope this helps!
