Horatio Nelson had a compound fracture of his foreleg.

Barbaro's didn't break the skin, and it was his hind leg

Sorry, meant it involved a lot of the same bones (canon, sesamoid, dislocated fetlock). Didn't catch the leg difference. My apologies!

I do realize breaking the skin makes a difference, which was part of the point - a lot of strange "luck" (if you can call it that) and fortitude for him to make it this far.

no question though that BBO is a model patient and that may be his best hope for recovery...
