A. Patient Jane Doe was injured on her left shin, while playing soccer at her local high school. That injury caused her pain while walking, and pain on her left knee cap. The foot was slightly palpated until a pulse detected, only then were they able to conclude Jane was getting enough blood circulation to the lower extremities of the leg (Disorders). An X-Ray is to be administered to further assess her injury. The results indicated a break in the shin bone just under the knee, luckily the bone has not been dislocated and it did not penetrate the skin (Disorders).
B. Jane Doe’s X-ray shows a side view of the kneecap, shinbone and of the lower thighbone.
C. The ER Doctor decides to apply a temporary splint that will help stabilize the knee joint (Darrow). Once the swelling subsides, Jane is to return for a follow up appointment in a week to wrap the injury with a cast. Jane’s tibia will heal rather quickly because of the rich blood supply found in her bone tissue. Luckily no tendons or ligaments were damaged, as this would have extended her healing time. The reason being,

Due to the fact Jane is having issues with her lungs, the physician took a look at her medical history. Not too long ago Jane was submitted to the ER for a broken bone, because of that incident, a blood clot in the lung was suspected. Often times clots are able to break off and travel freely in the bloodstream. Once it reaches the lung or heart, it will be too big to pass and therefore cause a blockage.
D. The lung has special membranes that surround it. Those membranes are known as the parietal and visceral membranes. They serve as shields to help with defense, absorption and secretion (Thompson). When large amounts of liquid enter the lung membrane, it creates enough pressure to squeeze your lung to the point that it partially or completely collapses (Mayo Clinic). A partial or complete collapsed lung will reduce the amounts of oxygen, therefore causing difficulty breathing (Mayo

The type of fracture in the knee X-ray is an avulsion fracture of the tibia tubercle. Avulsion fractures are the result of tensile loading on the bone (McKinnis, 2014; Smith, n.d.). Fragments of bone are pulled away from the main body of the bone resulting from a tensile loading on the bone, through active muscle contraction or resistance of a ligament. Additionally, an avulsion fracture will appear radiolucent on a radiograph as a result of hemorrhage and the space between the bone fragment and main body of bone (McKinnis, 2014; Smith, n.d.). An avulsion fracture of the tibia most commonly is seen in athletic males, aged 14-16 years, during the time of the transitional phase of physeal closure just prior to completion of growth (Ertl, 2014).

It is to be noted that the patient was involved in a motor vehicle accident on 13/08/2012, at which time he sustained a fracture of the shaft of the left humerus. This was treated conservatively in a U-slab. Furthermore, Prof. Aden found that he also sustained a dislocation of the left shoulder as well as an open Lisfranc injury of the left foot. The shoulder dislocation was reduced and the open Lisfranc injury was cleaned, stitched, reduced and treated in a below-knee cast.
Her kneecap was still located on the anterior (ventral) side of her leg; nothing was displaced. Also the accident left some big scratches on her elbow which was proximal to her wrist that were pretty bruised up. Her skin that was superficial to her skeletal muscles that are apart of the skeletal system, was in bad shape because of all the bruises and scratches. Her lungs that are deep (internal) to her skin, were nearly smashed in the accident, but thank goodness that didn’t happen. Her spine, which is dorsal (posterior) to her breast bone, felt a little sore, but nothing major was wrong. `Her broken nose was inferior to her chin, which she had to get stitches on her chin. After the horrible accident, she got into a fight with a girl. Most of her oral cavity was messed up. Her lip was busted and her gums were bleeding. She didn’t lose any teeth, which is good. She just had to go to the hospital to get everything checked out. Through all these horrible things that have happened to her, her cardiovascular system was still working and distributing blood to all the parts of her
