My dad used to recount how as a kid he had that crank come back around on him and compound fracture his ulna, Doctor set it by pulling on both ends and re-aligning them. No anesthesia.
Compound as in the bone broke through the skin?
Heck of a thing for a kid to go through. Back then you had to be tough.

That was actually relatively common and came to be known as a “Ford Fracture.”
