Question

23. Bone Fracture (Skeleton and Bone) Julie is a varsity soccer player. She is a defender in the backfield and loves to take out the oncoming forwards. She is known for her aggressive play and very physical slide tackles. During a competitive game for the district title, a forward on the opposing team had a breakaway play. The forward was making her way down the field toward the goal straight into Julie's territory. Julie did her thing. She went for the ball but missed and directly collided with the leg of the other player. Everyone in the stands heard the crack and thought it must have been their shin guards. Both players went down and were screaming in pain. The officials stopped the clock and both players were carried off the field. Julie's leg, specifically in the area of the tibia, was swollen, red, and very tender to the touch. The opposing player was in worse shape. Her fibula was protruding through the skin. The athletic trainers from each team called an ambulance to take them to the emergency room. Describe the type of fracture sustained by Julie's opponent. What types of frac- tures could Julie have suffered? What other type of injuries could she have received? 1. 2. If Julie had torn a tendon, how would her recovery have differed from the other player? Why does bone heal relatively fast?
