## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

WHILE THE AIRCRAFT WAS DESCENDING THROUGH 10,000 FEET ABOVE FIELD ELEVATION (AFE), THE FLIGHT CREW PROVIDED THE STANDARD FINAL DESCENT DOUBLE-CHIME NOTIFICATION TO THE CABIN CREW.  THE LEAD FLIGHT ATTENDANT (LFA) WAS IN THE FORWARD SECTION OF THE AIRCRAFT AND THREE FLIGHT ATTENDANTS (F/AS) WERE IN THE AFT GALLEY. AS THE AFT F/AS WERE GETTING UP FROM THEIR JUMPSEATS TO CONDUCT THE FINAL CABIN WALKTHROUGH PRIOR TO LANDING, THEY FELT A BIG JOLT OF AIR. THE FLIGHT CREW INDICATE THAT THE AIRCRAFT ENTERED A NON-CONVECTIVE CUMULOUS BUILD-UP AND ENCOUNTERED MODERATE TURBULENCE. TWO OF THE AFT F/AS WERE LIFTED INTO THE AIR WITH ONE F/A FALLING TO THE FLOOR AND INJURING THEIR FOOT.  THE AFT F/AS IMMEDIATELY NOTIFIED THE FLIGHT CREW OF THE INJURY. THE FLIGHT CREW DECLARED A MEDICAL EMERGENCY, AND EMERGENCY PERSONNEL MET THE AIRCRAFT AT THE GATE. THE INJURED F/A WAS TRANSPORTED TO URGENT CARE, WHERE THEY WERE DIAGNOSED WITH A CLOSED DISPLACED FRACTURE OF THE FIRST METATARSAL BONE IN THE LEFT FOOT.
