His injury that led to the ankle surgery was him getting caught from behind. Him being 100% there didn’t help.

Also if Saban wanted to run up the score, why was Mac Jones warming up?

How often is this surgery performed? I had never heard of it til he had it last year and then again this year.

Is this a Bama only thing?

I said the same thing last night. Tight rope surgery? Is this a new surgery to combat the dreaded 'high ankle sprain?' I'm not trying to make a point, just genuinely curious.

Touché. I’m not an NP. I graduated in top 10% of my med school class in Texas. First in my residency class and scored 99 percentile on my EM boards. I merely gave an opinion on the injury. Instead of insulting me, like a juvenile, why don’t you refute my opinion with yours?

I see you have MD in your name? What is your specialty?

I see that we agree on the whole NP issue. They’re mostly big hat no cattle types.

The tight rope surgery has been around since 2005.

For everyone else, this post from page one:

quote:

pretty sure that he sustained this injury because his femur was perpendicular to the ground when his knee hit and he was flexed forward at about a 90 degree angle while he had two defensive linemen on his back directly over his leg (thus, 100% of their weight as well as about 45% of his was all on that one joint crashing down with force.


Explains it very well

This was a freak injury that is very uncommonly seen on a football field and was due to the perfect set of circumstances that produced an incredible amount of force on the joint in question. It subsequently dislocated posteriorly with such force that it fractured the posterior aspect of the pelvic joint adjacent to the head of the femur.

His ankle injury has absolutely nothing to do with this

Wouldn’t surprise me. Very common, especially in the fitness world.

I guess there is no way to know for sure that Tua's ankle injury led to this injury, but it is a completely logical thought and very possible.


There is a logical train of thought there, but the point the guy you quoted made is still valid. There's no way to know for sure, and I'm surprised that a licensed physician would go out on a limb and say that one definitely led to the other.

All you can really say is that the likelihood was higher than if he'd not had the injury.
