Tombos was founded as an Egyptian colonial town during the New Kingdom Period (14001070 BC). The individual was radiocarbon dated to 1114-910 BC and also exhibited healed fractures of the left proximal humerus and ribs. There was shortening and mild atrophy of the right femur compared to the left; radiographs demonstrated a varus deformity of the proximal femur with associated retroversion. Bone density analysis revealed that the tissue mineral density z-score for this individual was \u22120.798, with the z-score for Tombos females 15\u201324\u2009years old being 0.396, or a total difference of 1.194. This indicates that the individual was osteopenic but not osteoporotic prior to demise. This is an important case as it occurred approximately 3000\u2009years ago and is the oldest known reported case of a healed intertrochanteric hip fracture in the archaeological literature. Archaeological cases of intertrochanteric hip fractures are rare, with none previously reported from the BC era. The timing of these multiple fractures is unknown, but all healed before the demise of the individual. Thus, there must have been considerable care afforded to such an individual to minimize the morbidities associated with nonoperative care of such a fracture. If all these fractures occurred at the same time due to a traumatic, accidental injury, the Modified Injury Severity Score (MISS) would be 25. Modern day trauma resuscitation and orthopaedic care gives an estimated mortality for such a MISS score of 28% for those &lt;50\u2009years old. It is likely that this individual\u2019s high socioeconomic status allowed for intensive nursing care which likely decreased the morality risk.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2024\/8339694","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,12]],"date-time":"2024-02-12T22:05:20Z","timestamp":1707775520000},"page":"1-12","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A Healed Intertrochanteric Femur Fracture, Shoulder, and Rib Fractures in an Ancient Nubian Female: An Osteoarchaeological Perspective"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2024","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1217-0528","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Randall T.","family":"Loder","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis, IN, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1177-0962","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Michele R.","family":"Buzon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anthropology, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-3417-103X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Kaitlyn E.","family":"Sanders","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anthropology, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","first-page":"2075","article-title":"Intertrochanteric fractures of the hip","volume-title":"Rockwood and Green's Fractures in Adults","author":"T.
