But my question is this: In the cartoon King of the Hill, Hank's father Cotton has no shins, his feet having been grafted to his knees after being shot in WWII. Is there any real-life case of this having happened? It seems like a very odd injury to make up.
He has short shins. I'm assuming his shattered tibiae and fibulae healed without the benefit of traction, so they are just shorter than they were before the injury.
