Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Deformity of the left femur can be potentially life-threatening because it can indicate a possible fracture of the femur, which is the largest bone in the body and can lead to significant blood loss and shock. Open fractures and dislocations can also be serious injuries, but they are not immediately life-threatening in the way that a femur fracture can be. Crepitus palpated to the right humerus may indicate a fracture, but it is not as immediately concerning as a femur fracture.
