Abstract
The patient was a 48-year-old man serving in a deployed combat setting, who was referred to a physical therapist for evaluation of progressively worsening left hip and left wrist pain. Due to concern for hip and wrist fractures, the physical therapist ordered radiographs of the left hip and left wrist. The radiographs revealed comminuted fractures of the midneck to distal neck of the left femur and left scaphoid.
