About Pork, fresh, leg (ham), shank half, separable lean only, cooked, roasted

Fat is present but restrained. The texture is firmer and more fibrous than loin or tenderloin, which is why shanks are more often braised than roasted - though lean roasted shank works well sliced thin for sandwiches or served over greens.
