Abstract:
We report a case of a 24-year-old male with fractures at multiple levels of both femur and tibia. The patient was operated upon and a satisfactory clinical outcome was achieved. In spite of a thorough secondary survey, a displaced ankle fracture had been missed. The case is reported for the unusual combination of fractures and to highlight the importance of undetected injuries. We recommend that a tertiary survey should be carried out routinely in all polytrauma patients to prevent missed injuries.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
