no doubt, been teaching orthopedics for 25 years now as a college prof. and that's the language we use when talking about the details professionally or in the office, no doubt that's spot on.  On a sports message board, however,  I'll try to keep it plain spoken and general for the av. Joe with it mind to consider  as to how an injury occurs and/or if it effects if one can play or not and how it is reported.  Here I usually keep it in generalities unless the topic calls for details, elsewhere not so much.

I heard he was weight bearing and saw that he had injured it earlier on in the game which was getting criticism how the staff handled it and that's where the discussion of fracture vs. break came in.  You can walk with most hairlines and even other fractures of the fibula since it's not weight bearing, not so much with more severe fractures that the lay person calls a "broken" bone.  This discussion was simply to bring to light between the two different scenarios, not to offer a lecture.

But you're right dude, kudos for noticing.
