I'm curious for opinion here. If someone coming down a ladder bungled it and fell, feet first the way he was pointed, the last eight feet or so, is there any part of the leg that would be most likely to break?
I mean, it doesn't seem likely that a femur would give out with an impact like that, but is tib/fib more likely than, say, ankle or heel, or is it all too speculative and it doesn't really matter where I break this poor guy's leg?
Also, I'd welcome any description of broken leg pain. I have been terribly fortunate not to have broken any bones, so any eloquence you guys have on the wretchedness of broken legs, I'd be happy (er, sad?) to hear the story of your pain.
