My son (who is almost 14) fractured his femur while wakeboarding yesterday.
He didn't fracture the large bone itself but rather a small "knob" of the bone (lesser trochanter) that holds the tendons and muscles on.
Apparently this usually only happens to adolescents due to the imbalance of muscle/bone strength. And, it is not a common injury. The ER doctor had never seen anyone that has broke this bone before...
Just curious if anyone else has had experience with this and might know how the recovery or treatment might go.
We are scheduled to see a specialist tomorrow. As of now they haven’t done anything for him (no cast, splint, etc.)
Thanks
