Radiographs

Here are radiographs of Penny's LF. You can see the fracture(s) towards the toe - the dark areas are where there is a fracture. It looks like a severe concussion/crushing force hit from the bottom. Some of the vertical lines are blood vessels - I think even a lay person can see the disorderly lines of the fracture.

Looking at the lateral view- the force seems to have gone all the way through the bone to the front of the coffin bone - notice the separation there.

I've never seen anything like it. I doubt others have as well. Usually it is one of the "wings" that fracture slightly and can be corrected - this one is pretty unusual.

Still praying...
