My wife did a number on her leg last week, breaking five bones and dislocating two. She was doing a ninja warrior course at a pumpkin patch.
There was a clean break all the way through on the fibula, and it was completely separated from the rest of the bone. The tibia had a good fracture in it. The remaining bones broken were in her ankle, one which shattered tremendously. After the surgeon got together what he could with that one, there were still 15 pieces remaining that he couldn't do much with. They used a cadaver bone to make up somewhat of a putty to keep it all together. We will be checking back during the next two weeks to see if it is holding and growing together as it should.
