X-rays of the deformed femur of a least shrew (Cryptotis parvus) revealed an ossified callus enclosing a greatly displaced, spiral fracture. Based on models of fracture healing, this shrew lived for at least 28 days postfracture. Survival of major fractures in the wild may not be uncommon.
一只北美小麝鼩(Cryptotis parvus)畸形股骨的X光片显示,其骨痂已经骨化,包裹着一处严重移位的螺旋骨折。根据骨折愈合模型,这只麝鼩在骨折后至少存活了28天。在野外,严重骨折后存活下来的情况可能并不罕见。
