  • Medically reviewed by Theresa Marko, PT There are three main bones in the leg. The femur is the long bone in your thigh that connects your hip to your knee; it's also your body's longest and strongest bone.

The article from MSN discusses the essential aspects of dealing with a broken leg, detailing the symptoms, treatment options, and recovery process. It explains that a broken leg can result from various causes like falls, sports injuries, or accidents, and symptoms include severe pain, swelling, bruising, and an inability to bear weight on the leg. Immediate medical attention is advised, where diagnosis typically involves X-rays or other imaging techniques. Treatment might involve realignment of the bone, casting, or in severe cases, surgery with the use of pins, screws, or plates. The article also covers the recovery phase, emphasizing the importance of rest, elevation, and pain management, alongside physical therapy to restore strength and mobility. It highlights potential complications like infection or improper healing, and stresses the need for follow-up care to ensure proper bone healing and rehabilitation.
