Carol:
Possibly, but the other instances of broken bones are rare (Draco's broken arm when he antagonizes Buckbeak)? Most of the injuries she deals with, if they can be called that, seem to be the result of hexes and spilled potions.

As for someone's suggestion that Madam Pomfrey stocked up on Skele-gro because Lockhart was coming to Hogwarts, I doubt it. She's not psychic, and for all we know, she was a secret fan of Lockhart's. At any rate, she had no way of knowing that a teacher hired by the seemingly omniscient Dumbledore would cause a student's arm to lose all its bones after it was broken in a fall from a broom.


June:
My suggestion that Madam Pomfrey stocked up on Skelegrow was because
Lockhart was going to be teaching was a joke. That is why I ended it
with LOL, that is short for laugh out loud.

Also Carol, Buckbeak didn't break Malfoy's arm, he seriously cut it hence the blood that was at the scene.
