You get a phone call at 1AM and hear a frantic voice on the other end of the line exclaim, “Doc! I think my horse has a broken leg! He won’t place any weight on it.” You attempt to calm Mrs. Picklebottom down and ask her some basic history questions. You gather through the sniffles and sobbing that it appears her beloved Henry became acutely lame in his right hindlimb after being kicked by another horse in the pasture at approximately 6PM. You as an astute veterinarian realize that this could be very serious and ask her to bring the horse in for further evaluation and note a laceration on the lateral aspect of the right hindlimb; you probe the wound and note a sharp piece of bone. You perform radiographs of the right hind metatarsus at the level of the wound. Please characterize the fracture.

A 54-year-old female presents to the clinic reporting three days of left lower leg swelling and achiness. She underwent a right total hip replacement six weeks ago and was relatively immobile for the first two weeks of recovery. She denies fever, chest pain, or shortness of breath. On examination, the left calf is visibly larger than the right. When the provider presses firmly over the left medial malleolus for five seconds and releases, a depression of approximately 4 millimeters is produced that resolves within 10 to 15 seconds and leaves no visible distortion of the surrounding tissue. How would you accurately document this finding?
