Skeletal Assignment Bone Compound Fracture and Skin injury
A student was on skiing trip, when she fell and broke her left leg. As she fell, her left leg got
caught under the body of another skier who ran into her.
An X-ray revealed that the fracture was a compound, tibial-fibular fracture just below the
knee.
The X-ray also revealed a torn meniscal cartilage in the knee above the fracture.
The girl remained in the hospital for 14 days because of an infection of the leg in the area
of skin breakage.
Her immobilized leg was casted after the infection subsided. She remained in a full leglength cast for 3 months, after which the upper portion of the cast was removed and she was
allowed to start bearing weight on the leg. The bones ultimately healed, but the girl continued to
have left knee swelling ("water on the knee") and pain made worse by walking. Arthroscopic
examination of the knee revealed a meniscus that was still torn 6 months after her injury. Please
answer the following questions,
1. What does the term "tibial-fibular fracture" mean?
2. What is a compound fracture and include in your response identification of what
injury occurred to the skin?
3. Describe the microscopic features of osseous tissue that help long bones withstand
lateral stress without breaking.
4. Describe the healing process of bone repair.
5. Identify the muscles, joint type, and tendons that are involved in the knee movements.
(interject the concept of muscle contraction mechanism.)
Hint about this assignment, you will need to know
the structure of skin, bone repair, and muscle contractions processes associated with bone.
