Primary text
The injury is ruled as two Hashimah wounds. This is because the bone fracture (Hashm) is considered consequential to the exposure of the bone (Iwdah). Since there are two established Iwdah injuries, the associated fractures are counted as two Hashimah injuries, distinguishing it from the Muwaddihah, which is not dependent on another preceding injury.
