Chapter 536 Lust & Found:>24
- "Mr. Dolan, how exactly did this occur?" he asked, and Steve scowled and began to speak but Angie spoke up first.
- "He fell on the driveway, isn't that right dear?" said Angie, and Steve mumbled agreement.
- The doctor looked skeptical, but accepted their explanation, even though he could see it couldn't possibly have resulted from a simple fall. The ulna showed a displacement fracture, while the radius showed a rotational fracture. Tellingly, there was no injury or evidence of fall or impact to the Olecranon, the 'point' of the elbow characteristically damaged when falling on the arm with sufficient force to break one or both of the bones. Additionally, the wrist fracture was an almost textbook Colles' Fracture. Taken together, both injuries pointed to a lateral twisting force, as though someone had tried to wring his arm off, a combination he'd previously only ever seen in child abuse cases. The strength needed to do this to an adult male would have been enormous.
