Kevin Ware's leg surgery is complete and was successful

University of Louisville basketball player Kevin Ware underwent successful surgery Sunday night to repair the gruesome open fracture of his right tibia he suffered during the Cardinals' 85-63 win over Duke in the Midwest Regional final, and he is expected to remain in Indianapolis until at least Tuesday, U of L announced.
Ware had the bone reset, and a rod was inserted into leg during the operation that lasted about two hours. The wound caused by the bone puncturing through his skin in his lower leg was closed.
U of L's late-night release said no timetable for recovery has been set, but the early prognosis from U of L sports medicine director Fred Hina - given right after the game while Ware was in surgery - was that Ware is bound for a lengthy recovery, but the injury is not likely a career-ending one.

I broke my fibula in 14ish pieces (simple, not compound) and that was the absolute worst pain I've ever had, my teeth were literally rattling it hurt so badly for days.
I can't even imaging a compound tibia fracture.
I didn't watch the game I was taking a nap, but I refuse to watch the video, just brings back terrible memories
Get well soon, brotha!

Yeah... I'd probably be afraid to jump anymore after that.

I was amazed at how calm he was. He just put his hands behind his head and leaned back. I remember that look of shock Lattimore had once they removed his helmet, and kept thinking it hasn't hit Ware yet.

Yeah, I imagine his body was in shock. I bet he redshirts next year. Hope he is back and healthy for the 2014-15 season.

Possibly good for Louisville in the long run?

Yeah, I'm sure adreniline kicked in.
I broken both of the bones in my arm my freshman year playing basketball and I was in tears and I thought my athletic career was over.
Senior year playing football I broke my fibula, and I just kept saying "I just broke my fricking leg" in a relatively calm way
But the hot assistant trainer kept rubbing my (6pack)abs, that helped a lot

It's gonna take about a year to come back from this I would assume. So I think that's pretty much a forgone conclusion.
Tibia is weight bearing, it's a very serious injury.
Posted on 3/31/13 at 11:46 pm to KosmoCramer
I want him to come back next year and then see the Derrick Rose jokes flood in

Very happy to read this!

Medical redshirt
Maybe he'll be Lattimore and be up and rehabbing in three months

i doubt he will be able to play again from a mental standpoint. if that happened to me i would never go 100% again. but thats just me.
i hope he recovers

What a horrific injury, best of luck to him.
Posted on 4/1/13 at 1:28 am to LSUtoOmaha
Even if he doesn't play again, this is very good news. A lot could've gone wrong with that type of injury.
Posted on 4/1/13 at 1:45 am to MikeyFL
I never want to see that play again. Hope he makes a full recovery, even if it's a lengthy one.

I don't want to see this play, but was it worse than that WR that was playing in a MAC game or something and ran into a band cart right off the field and snapped his leg?
If anyone remembers that.

Someone I follow on instagram just posted the picture of his bone sticking out of his leg.
