his ankle was just fine... it was the femur bone that shattered in pieces. thickest bone in the human body.

and the guy is super-healthy, runner, Polynesian dancer, take vitamins every day. ER docs were like: "WHAT. THE. FUCK?"

And his right foot is pointing backwards. Complete 180 degrees. He broke his femur (!!!) bone in 7 (!!!) places. Had to be airlifted to the hospital, metal rods through his leg, a year of recovery and scars for life.

So you got it easy man. It will go away soon

Damn, that is a terrible bone to break. In 7 places too? Wow. Feel very sorry for him.

i feel your pain. Same thing happened to me except I was playing soccer. Went to kick the ball and foot stuck on ball and whole foot did a 360 on top of ball. I almost died in pain. Took 2+ months to fully get better. GOod luck friend~

I SUCK

[ragingclue]

Upon getting my separation/disability physical from the Marine Corps as my EAS was coming up, the doctor informed me that my ATFL was holding on by a shred, probably due to my tendency to roll my ankle all the damn time. I sprained it a lot.

Anyway, before you CSB me, that prompted me to ask the doctor what happens if it tears the rest of the way, or if I would have to have surgery to repair or replace it.

His reply: "You'll still have three ligaments left in your ankle. You'll be fine."

God Bless the VA.
