Sra is correct.

You need to ask yourself this: Did the wheelchair have a fractured tibia? It's silly, of course, and this is an indication of a misplaced (or dangling) modifier.

The agreement error in the sentence is a number-agreement error.

To identify the agreement error in the sentence "The patient was placed in the wheelchair with the fractured tibia," we need to analyze the subject-verb agreement. The subject of the sentence is "the patient," which is a singular noun. The verb "was placed" agrees with the subject as it is in singular form.

The agreement error is not related to subject-verb agreement. However, there is another type of agreement error in this sentence. It involves the agreement between the noun "tibia" and the adjective "fractured." "Fractured" is an adjective modifying the noun "tibia," and they should agree in number.

In this case, "tibia" is a singular noun, and "fractured" should also be singular to match. Therefore, the correct type of agreement error in this sentence is a noun-adjective agreement error.
