The diagnosis was a fractured tibia and fibula which will keep him out for the rest of the season.
They also found artifacts like a part of an iron fibula, animal bones, and pottery.
The leg of a plantigrade mammal includes the bones of the upper leg (femur/humerus) and lower leg (tibia and fibula/radius and ulna).
Of the remaining injuries, 127 were to lower extremities including femur, knee, tibia/fibula, ankle, and foot.
The calcaneum also has a facet that attaches to both the fibula bone of the leg and another tarsal, or ankle bone.
Among the only living ambulatory mammals to have a fused tibia and fibula are the armadillo and the aardvark.
Unlike in armadillos, the tibia and fibula are not inclined relative to each other, but about parallel.
However, a pile-up at the finish line resulted in a broken fibula, ruling him out for the rest of the athletics season.
