The individual lived in medieval Sweden and was 30 years old at the time of death. He got his thigh bone fractured when he was 20. [Source](https://bonenbronze.blogspot.com/2025/05/new-research-sheds-light-on-disability.html).
That hurt. Hell, it makes me cringe looking at it. The femur is the strongest bone in the body and it takes a lot of force to break it.
That he lived ten years beyond the injury back then was quite a feat.
yikes on bikes. the article mentions they probably had opium available as pain management but even so
