Question

Bhoojho fell off a tree and hurt his ankle. On examination, the doctor confirmed that the ankle was fractured. How was it detected?

Answer 1

Ankle:

1. The ankle is the joint of the leg and the foot.
2. Joints are the part of the body where two or more bones meet to allow movement which links the skeletal system into a functional whole.
3. A fracture of the ankle is an injury in the bones of the foot.

Detection of fracture:

1. The doctor must have observed swelling around his ankle and taken an X-ray of his ankle by the X-ray machine.
2. X-ray images confirm any type of injuries/fractures in the bones.
