As physicians, we are always learning. And what I learned last night in this thread are two things. One, people that work in the emergency room as orderlies or checkout staff are not “medical professionals“ and should not be rendering opinions. Two: It’s shocking to me that we have individuals that are voicing their displeasure over insurance issues and their own ignorance about vaccines and projecting that onto physicians. Anyway, Go VOLS! 😂

This fella is actually a physician. I know him personally, so listen to him. He knows his chit.

Is it a covid year that he has? Injury won't end his career, but he may not be the same for his final season, if he comes back. It's mental not physical and unfortunately, sometime the mental part is worse than the physical. It'll take quite a lot of game action to trust that ankle.

COVID 2020, redshirt 2019, so 1 or 2 more years? Maybe even 2 more if this is medical rs, idk.

Doc vol and I both called it a dislocated ankle, in another thread, and were send to the stake to be burned alive. I don't know Docs background, and I'm not a doctor. I have taken in over a dozen patients as a paramedic with the same injury over my 13 year career. People saying a femur fracture don't quite understand the force it takes to break a femur, very rare for a 24 year old to break one outside of a major car accident, or more frequent motorcycle accident. Plus the pain endured from a femur fractured he quite likely wouldn't be laying there as calm as he was and waving. I had an accident and ended up with 53% 3rd degree burns I wasn't waving at anyone.

As a medical professional who works in the ER, I can tell you that break was either the Tibia bone or Femur, hard to tell without examining, but either way that kind of injury will not only end his college football playing, but it will most likely end any hope for the NFL. Very sad.

As a mental health amateur I can tell without fail that you are suffering from grandeur syndrome that is either due to a bipolar disorder or schizophrenia. Confidence at that level on a factually incorrect diagnosis is what it is. While he is in rehab for his ANKLE, you should look into some therapy. He has a better shot at a full recovery. OH I ALMOST FORGOT, I hope I am wrong.

What about the divot where he knee should be?

Just a bad camera angle. It's hard to tell whats a shadow, quad muscle etc. He's a very strong, physical guy so I'm sure his quads are very defined and lean. If you look up pictures of body builders they'll get the same kind of dip.

I was thinking the same thing. A fractured femur he would have been screaming. I was a vanderbilt-Tennessee game when Aaron Hayden broke his femur against Vanderbilt. He was at midfield and I was in the end zone and we could hear him screaming loudly. It was a nasty break. Hopefully the fractured dislocated ankle will heal nicely for him. GBO

Was it just me or was his knee 90degrees the wrong direction?

It was a complete break and separation of the tibia from what I saw live. There was no compound fracture, but he completely broke his leg. His football career is not over, he will continue on to the NFL and I believe have a successful career. However, his football career at Tennessee is over unfortunately ☹️

As several of us acknowledged, ankle. Guess I get to keep my screen name (and profession).

Hey Doc I’m a PT..
I thought it looked like a distal complete tib/ fib fx with possible dislocation.

Do you think the fracture is Tib/ Fib? Or something less than that?

Obviously none of us know exactly without the reports..

There’s a reason broadcasts don’t run replays after these type of injuries. It is out of respect for the family.

Boo freaking hoo. Good grief. Somehow Moises alou, Aaron Hayden, the basketball player at Lousiville I believe, running back at South Carolina didn't turn out to be mass murders bc the clip of them snapping a leg in two aired on tv and replays were shown.

We live in a soft world. They don't have to show replays we have tv we rewind now.

Yeah, it's just a tough injury, largest, strongest bone breaking is bad enough. The real pain comes from the two largest and strongest muscles in the body spasming as the leg shortens. Effectively they have a continuous muscle spasm of the quadricep and hamstring at the same time. Along with the nerve, vascular, and tissue damage from the shards on the bone when it separates and shortens. The pain is continues until they are put in traction, stretching the muscles back out and aligning the bone.

I’m glad somebody like McKenzie Milton is on the staff for Bru to go to and lean on. Most thought Milton would never play again after his injury. Transferred to FSU and almost had a great comeback win against Norte Dame.

Having had a comminuted femur fracture (twisting break while skiing) I can tell you that you are so full of adrenalin, that once the motion stops, the pain is tolerable. Until they field set and immobilize the leg. That hurts like a motherfugger. I was 31 when I did it, and I had a revolutionary repair. I had a steel rod thru the marrow channel of the bone installed. I still have it to this day.

Bless you. An extended family member broke his in a T Bone Car Crash. He still walks with a limp and sometimes a cane AND he ended up in opioid addiction recovery. He's not that kind of man but the pain was beyond anything he'd known before.

I hope you're as good as possible after that kind of thing.
