I thought it broke below the knee or did he break it right at the knee....

I've always heard a femur break is BAD news.....

you would rather break your femur than tear all the ligaments in your knee. That being said, not all femur fractures are created equal. regardless. His career is over. I hope he had a backup plan because he seemed like a nice kid.

the bone?


A titanium nail. Takes about 45 minutes to do and the rehab is pretty straightforward.

Rehabbing a multi-ligamentous knee is an 18-24 month process b/c you usually stage multiple procedures, you have to take some of your tissue to use for reconstruction or tissue from a cadaver to use for reconstructing the ligaments.

Give me the femur fracture.
