You are working as a medic at a gymnastics competition, and one of the gymnasts has a bad landing after a vault, injuring her leg. Her leg is bent at an awkward angle and her tibia and fibula are obviously fractured. You palpate her posterior tibial and dorsalis pedis pulses on her non-injured limb and they are 2/4.
