If you have the stomach for it, google image "kevin ware injury close up" 4th image.. oh my god.

as a student athletic therapist, my classmates and I were very quite excited to have been able to witness the injury. He is under very good care, as the trainers for the Louisville team are a top notch medical staff.

Thats definiately not an injury that happens often in basketball with that kind of mechanism, we've seen arms and ankles break quite badly but hardly ever a lower leg of that nature. really some interesting stuff.

Damn. How brittle can your bones be if it'll just snap like that....

OhMyGaawwddd~ Open fractures are scary

[trulankan]

my friends bro broke his arm like that while playing ball. he had to get metal rods in his arm. fortunately i wasn't there to witness it in person or i would have emptied my stomach

[Punkrockjohn]

saw it the other day, I couldn't believe how easily that bone fractured

They think he already had some pretty serious stress fractures. That and the resulting torque of twisting and landing from a large jump caused the splinter and break in two places.

relatively clean though. Should be good with a rod and a scar he'll be playing again in a year I bet.

Yeah gotta have some predisposing factor to fracture like that.

One of the nastiest injuries I have seen. Not quite Clint Malarchuk , but up there..

The Marcus Lattimore injury last NCAA football season was pretty graphic too. I found it worse TBH.
