Introduction:

In the given case, a woman named Liliana was admitted to the hospital for receiving treatment for fracture. Her shinbone (superior right tibial bone) was fractured, with a laceration of about 3.5 cm (centimeter). Along with the fracture, the artery that supplies nutrients to the shinbone was also damaged. The fibrocartilage disc (medial meniscus) of her right knee was also crushed. The injured knee was accompanied with swelling, inflammation, and pain. Her fracture was treated by open reduction, which involved a surgery using pins and wires to bind the bone ends.
