A fracture is quite literally a break. Furthermore, a fractured tibia will make one's leg not work. But one way or another, it is broke. No rumor there. Now, I haven't been to medical school, but I presume they teach the skeleton dance there. If you can't dance your way past "the legbone is connected to the kneebone" then you can't do the skeleton dance and if you can't do the skeleton dance, you can't play basketball.
