I submitted some questions to a WS verified RN and WS moderator, Nursebeemee, regarding the scars on Jane Doe 9098's legs. These are the questions I posed:
Right lower leg has a 3-1/2" scar on the lateral mid leg area, a 1" linear scar on the lateral mid to lower leg and a 1/2" scar on the medial ankle.
The left leg has a 2" surgical scar with adjacent suture scars on the medial left ankle.
"My questions are about those scars. It has been theorized by some posters that Jane Doe 9098 was the recipient of a fasciotomy. First of all, are you able to tell from the information provided in the above quote if Jane Doe's scars are from surgery at all? If she did have surgery on her legs, was it a fasciotomy? What is a fasciotomy? Why type of doctor would perform a fasciotomy? If the scars are an indicator of another type of surgery, what surgery would that be? What type of doctor would perform that surgery? If the scars are indicators of some other type of event, like injury, what type of event could that be? Finally, is the information provided in the above quote, too little to make any kind of determination?"
I provided Nursebeemee with a link and information to get to Jane Doe 9098's page at NamUs.
