Well, it turns out the "load bearing" point is the key here.
A little more information (sorry it's so sporadic, my buddy is in Michigan so I'm only getting the data in bits and pieces...via text messaging)
He went to the Emergency Room on Dec 6, when it happened. ER doctor splinted it, gave some pain meds and then referred him to an Orthopedic Specialist.
Ortho doc looked at ER x-rays, took some of his own and said that, because it's not a load-bearing bone, they wouldn't be able to do much about it. Ortho doc did express some concern about the calcium deposits around the fractures...something didn't seem right about them. Also told him that bone was healing slower than normal because my buddy is a smoker.
