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.
