Answer: c. nonunion

Explanation: Potential complications include the following:

* Failure to heal, called nonunion

* Shock from blood loss

* Travel of a fat embolus (clump of fat cells)

from the injury site to the lungs or brain,

where it blocks a crucial blood vessel

* Obstruction of nearby arteries... PF
