Jamie Michaels was thrown from his motorcycle on a patch of gravel and was brought to the ER by paramedics. On examination, his right femur appeared to be fractured. X-ray studies confirmed an oblique, compound fracture which fortunately did not injure the femoral artery. However, there is a possibility of soft tissue damage in the area of the fracture. After routine blood work results showed that Mr. Michaels could tolerate surgery, he was taken to surgery for an open reduction. The fracture was secured with a plate and screws. A myorrhaphy was also necessary. The patient was taken to the recovery room in good condition.
