definitely one of the hardest to watch without flinching.
I watched the McNeese game last night on DVR... did anyone see that punt returner from McNeese stick his leg out in front of Danny Graff and get that shite snapped???
I also saw one when Middle Tenn St played against Troy. My brother told me to watch it bc when the ref turned on his mike, you could hear a player over the loudspeaker say "LETS GET THIS shite TOGETHER"..... but before that i saw the QB get his leg snapped also. Like thumping a toothpick!
I would provide video if i didnt have filters at work.
If germans.....

It depends on what part of the bones. Generally the farther away from the joint the better

Require surgery to fix almost 100% of the time.

a kid at my HS had one. He had a huge apparatus on his leg that included 2 horse shoes, 3 rods, and 20 something screws drilled into his leg. Since it was an experimental thing and the school paid for it, the hospital gave a discount but they said the operation would normally cost around $30K.
And it still didnt set right... had to go in and rebreak it to set it correctly.

You should be on the field and hear one happen. Nasty business.

I had the same injury a few years ago playing with my son and I will never forget the sound. Four broken bones, seven pins and a plate. Hide 'n Seek is a dangerous game!
