Sounds like 3-4 months injury. If he says he will be ready for the 1st day of next season, i guess that means training camp.
When you have a broken bone and you have to move the pain is intense. I know from first hand experience. I just hate when players get hurt. This one looks real bad. Fingers crossed.This happened right in front of me. Awful collision, he was not showing signs of pain when still, but man when they put him on the board it was a different story and the pain looked intense.
Good Lord, I hope he can come back and that it's somehow not as bad as it appeared to be.
Is it fractured tibia or femur?Thanks God it does not look like compound fracture like the one Alex smith had
If a Schlub like me can be 90% better 6mo later, this kid is gonna be just fine. I got a rod and screws and I’m mostly only bothered in the wee hours of the morning after being motionless too long.Femur is the best possible outcome. Hip or knee is horrible. But as long as he didnt suffer any arterial damage or nerve damage, you insert titanium rods, take steroids and it'll be 50% stronger than it was before.

rt, did they use a Hare Traction splint on you? On the FD we used this a lot. Saw many fractures like this, when I saw the replay, I told the wife he broke his femur. The quad muscles contract and pull the femur bone ends grating against each- OUCH!! If the femur didn't splinter, I really think he'll be fine.If a Schlub like me can be 90% better 6mo later, this kid is gonna be just fine.

Blew my knee out playing HS football, major knee repair, stapled in three places the muscles to take place of the shredded ligaments. Staples started working their way out in a little over 3 years, looked like I had something growing on the inside of my knee. Went back in to surgically remove them. LOL...The rod and screws will come out.
They can't leave them there because as you get older the femur shrinks slightly and the rod can literally pop right through the end of the bone.
Also speaking from first hand experience.
And long term he'll be fine. Of all the bones I broke in my accident my femur doesn't bother me at all.

They used the arms of one beefy man. Lol.rt, did they use a Hare Traction splint on you? On the FD we used this a lot.

Just googled the splint. It would not have worked. I had to have my leg up and bent slightly or it was unbearable even with the fentanyl. The break was way up high, inside my hip. They couldn’t straighten it until after they knocked me out with ketamine.rt, did they use a Hare Traction splint on you? On the FD we used this a lot.

maybe I don't know the rules, but do they even need to put him on LTIR?I’m thankful it wasn’t worse. I was sick to my stomach after watching that. Great kid and has had an incredible year. He will be ready for the playoff run next year!
On a side note, we will have to sign someone with his cap space going on LTIR, right?
