truckin Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 You guys do know the femur is above the knee right. The Tibia and Fibula are below the knee. Its a knee issue, he may have a tib fib break as well but the twisted leg is all knee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKilbourne Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 That hurt to watch. I was watching the game and looked at my dad and said "looks like his ankle is destroyed". That was before I saw his leg flopping mid air and just saw his foot pointing the wrong way while on the ground. That has to be a sick feeling when your lower leg isn't being held on by any ligaments...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustangman2011 Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Nobody has brought up nerve damage. Isnt that a possibility too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirks5oh Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Any bone they're referring to as broken is likely a piece of bone attached to one of his ruptured ligaments. A knee dislocation usually tears at least three ligaments in the knee--the acl, pcl, and usually at least one more. Usually a small fleck of the tibia is pulled off when the acl is torn (segond fracture), and a piece of the femur might be pulled off by the mcl. Either way, he's fucked.

bicranium Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Yeah that's what I just read. Good to hear it's not what was initially being reported. Still going to be a heck of a recovery especially since he just had to recover from the ACL in the other knee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
