Hi Everyone,

It's been really busy around here but there is something I wanted to share with you.
I recently went on vacation to Washington DC and at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural Science there was a "Bone Display".  It was very interesting;  mostly sharing about how people's bones have gotten healthier since colonial days.  I was surprised to see that they actually had some broken bones with pins and plates in the display, showing the museum goers how broken bones are healed with hardware.  I'm posting them for you to see, since we don't often get to see what is residing in our bodies.  Keep in mind that these photos are from pretty extreme breaks, thankfully most of ours are not as bad.

This is a tibia with a really bad break.

A tibia with a lower break.  Notice how the skin grew over the hardware?

This poor person had a massive injury on the femur. OUCH! Serious hardware!

Wow, this is a terrible broken tibia!
