1. Timmy’s injuries were caused by both direct force and indirect force; the impact of the fall is
transmitted along the bone shafts and damages bones farther up the extremity.
2. The bones and joints that could be injured include bones and joints of the feet and ankle (by direct
force); bones of the tibia, fibula, and femur; and joints of the knee, hip, pelvis, and spinal column (by
indirect force).
3. Because the injury could involve the entire leg from hip to toes, the injury can be treated as a pelvic
fracture. Apply a pelvic wrap or place a folded blanket between the legs, from the groin to the feed,
and bind them together with wide cravats. Thin, rigid splints can be used to push the cravats under
the patient. The cravats can then be adjusted for proper placement at the upper thigh, above the
knee, below the knee, and above the ankle. This will splint him rapidly and take care of all injuries at
one time.
4. In children, the growth plate may be damaged if the fractured limb is not carefully managed.
