=Leg Injuries and WonderCrutch =


 * The human leg is made up of the foot, angle and leg. It is very common for these areas to fracture or break upon accidental work or sport injuries. Running, playing sports, tripping, falling down or car accidents are all incidents that cause possible sprains, strains, dislocations or breaks to the leg. According to the familydoctor.org website, if one has a sprained ankle they are to let it heal for almost two months. For a broken leg, the healing process can take up to three to four months to fully heal!


 * Humans use their legs to manoeuvre around for daily activity and survival. With these limbs temporarily disabled, it is difficult to perform the same tasks without pain, discomfort or slowing the healing process.
 * This is where we come in. WonderCrutch does not want you to experience any additional injury to your already broken or fractured leg because of accidental fall that can interrupt the healing process.
 * Let the healing time go by faster and move around with ease!
