JL, a 50-year-old woman, fell and broke the left tibia at the ankle. She is in the emergency department, waiting for the fracture to be immobilized. The leg hurts and she notes that the ankle is swelling. A diagnosis of a simple fracture and sprain (damage to ligaments) is made.
What is the cause of pain and swelling? --- don't need this --- I need question #2 answered
What can JL expect in the days to come as inflammation resolves and healing begins?
