I did not read anything into the term. The question I asked still stands, "how does smuggler know they are broken, not just cracked ribs"?

The team called it a fracture and it does allow for it to be anything from a stress fracture to a closed displaced fracture. Until we hear otherwise. And I want to know from smuggler if he has indeed read otherwise.
