Kevin Ware's Terrible Leg Injury

Saw this on fox news awhile ago and really shocks me, NCAA Kevin Ware of Louisville got a very...very terrible leg injury during their game. Here's the actual footage of their game;

:c

 

What a terrible leg injury. Did he died?

 

Oh, I saw this in news today lol. Bad for him D:

 

He's alive and you can actually saw on the video that he is alright.

Edit: I removed the pic since it looks way too brutal.

 

oh crap.. it's gonna take some months to fully recover from that ..

 

Yeah doc, had my forearm injury before and takes 1 month and a half for me to fully recover.

Wonder if he can play back with that terrible injury.

 

Maaaaaaaaan I was eating when I saw thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat X______________X

 

you force me to do this

 

Lol Archie, well yeah don't know that was a troll line.

 

Did you really have to link picture of his injury? I almost threw up when I saw that... Poor guy though, I was hoping he will score good and play decent this season..

 

hoping for a good recovery for the kid.
i saw that game on TV live between Louisville vs Duke this morning and I was like WTF just happened?!?!
I couldnt tell anyone here for a few hours coz i was still the only one who was awake. (the game was pretty early)

I hope he can recover well mentally. People especially athletes that suffer that kind of terrible injury kinda makes them play differently or less confident already.
I sure hope he will be fine

 

That's absolutely true, I've been very active playing basketball long time ago when i was in high school but after getting my forearm broke while playing at school i started to lose my daily routine and the most thing i hate is i'm now having a fear at playing volleyball.

 

I saw a photo of this guy's injury in Facebook and I felt so bad for him after seeing it. Made me sick too because it was so bad. Made me wonder if he can ever play basketball again

May he recover from such a tragedy.

 

snapped like a twig.

how come u get that kind of injury from a simple jump?

 

THERE GOES THE CAREER!

in the bin now

 

I find it a bit odd that we play games with a lot of gore, hatred, death but become queasy with real life injuries

This is one of those things that end up looking worse than they actually are. While i'm not diminishing the seriousness of the situation, it's important to know there's very high high high chances he's gonna be better than ok. The most dangerous thing in that (believe it or not) was making sure they got anything restricting off him right away (shoes, shocks) in order to avoid compartment syndrome. The second most dangerous thing is making sure they keep the injury as clean as possible. Bacteria would complicate things bigtime.

He'll be back on his (both) feet in a few weeks and we'll see him next season on the court. And yea, i'll be the first one up and applauding the effort it will take.

24 hours later:


How did this happen? Well it could have been the torque his body was going through, a previous situation that weakened the breakpoint, could have been the way he landed, possibly a nutrition issue, dumb luck or any number of other things.

 

calcium power!!!!!!

 

Yeah hopefully Derrick Rose comes back just as strong as he was before he left.

Just look at them narrow legs

 

It was a compound fracture. You can see it clearly in the video too. His bone pierced through his skin.

Here's a pic too (click only if you can withstand something truly disgusting): http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...43108234.57772.202305289854183&type=1&theater

 

After all the carnage I've seen on the streets... this aint nothing. One year back while on my way to the university, I saw something really ugly - a god damn truck squashed an old woman's head like a watermelon. I can only say that her brain was EVERYWHERE on the god damn street... deamn. And you tell me some puny bone fracture is a problem? He'll heal up like a baws. Tho he'll need a considerable amount of time to restore himself to playable condition.
