While she was at work today a large box of metal rivets fell from a 20-ft-high overhead shelf, striking her outstretched arm and knocking her to the ground.

You notice a large open wound on her arm with what appears to be bone tissue sticking out of the skin. She also has bruises covering her left shoulder, left wrist, and lower back. To determine the extent of her injuries Mrs. Morgan undergoes several x-rays, which reveal the following 1) fracture of the left humerus at the proximal diaphysis, 2) depressed fracture of the occipital bone, 3) fracture of the 3rd lumbar vertebral body 213Explanation / Answer
Ans1-#at left humerous proximal to the humerous at diphysis may result in vascular injury or neural injury.
That's why massive blood loss has seen at injured site.
2-Severe headache occurs due to injury in cervical region i.e. cervicogenic headache due nerve impingment.
3-# In L3 vertebra may result in the low back pain, with or without radiating pain.
