Case summary:
In the given case, a woman named Liliana was admitted to the hospital for receiving treatment for fracture. Her fracture was treated by open reduction, which involved a surgery using pins and wires to bind the bone ends. The area was later supported using a cast.
Characters in the case:
Liliana, a woman who suffered from a fracture.
Adequate information:
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.
To determine:
The time duration that would be taken by the patient’s bone to be healed. Also, analyze the complications that might occur due to a damage to the nutrient artery.

- Types of Fractures Using the X-RAYS at each station, answer the following questions: 1. A 23-year-old male comes to the ER with a gunshot wound in the distal femoral region. The x-ray reveals the bone is shattered into multiple pieces. Pieces of lead can be seen in the x-ray. The ER doctor recommends the patient see orthopedic doctor for surgical repair. What type of fracture is this? 2. A 24-month-old pediatric patient comes into the clinic. Mom states that the child was running on the concrete at the park and fell with her arms outstretched.
