According to the medical report, the Californian had to undergo "
a long surgical procedure
" for injuries to his right leg and ankle to treat "comminuted open fractures (several fragments) that affected both the upper and lower parts of the right tibia. and the fibula bones "and that" were stabilized by inserting a rod into the tibia. "

additional injuries "to the foot and ankle bones" were stabilized with "screws and nails,
" while "trauma to the muscle and soft tissue of the leg required surgical release of the muscle covering to relieve pressure due to swelling. "
