No one's allowed to disrespect Alex Smith again after he got back on the field again. That's remarkable.
Comeback player of the year
Dude is superhuman
@@earthring we can’t forget about the hip injury tua tagovailoa had
@Roby Widner I’d still go with tuas hip injury it was also the same hip injury that bo Jackson had that ended his career
he should have never come back dude... NEVER..... he basically got BUTCHERED so he could collecty a million dollar check and then retire..... im not mad about it, but HE SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN BACK.
Me: Ouh that looks really bad..
Brian: This is actually a good sign
Me: Ahh yes I agree
Samee😭
Who's here after Alex Smith was cleared for football activity today?

RevmanBeastly YRG I am

I’m here because dwane Haskins just got benched and dropped to 3rd in depth chart! Alex has a real shot at playing now
I'm here after he is playing in game!
Matt same, this video is insane
The nastiest picture is the healthiest one xD
I don't know, all that necrotic tissue was pretty terrible
@@rileysteidel7084 Yeah, I guess the last one was showing bone and stuff, and we saw the whole leg a bit better as well.
Contrapunctus XV yep. When I read this comment before it got to the “good” picture, I didn’t think it really could have gotten worse than the first infected picture. Then I got to the “good” picture and oh my god. That’s looks so much worse but somehow is the healthiest? Lol
@@BajaDeezNutz cause instinctively you're lead to believe bleeding = bad. As are all people. Once you get into medicine thats no longer the case though and you get desensitized to bleeding tissue. I will however never get use to puss, Im in med school and puss is just a big bowl of nope for me and that will never change.
@@onebuffalo5402 good?
Nigga his bones are exposed.
Alex's mental strength is absolutely incredible
Good lord, I don't care if Alex Smith ever plays again I just hope he makes a full recovery.
Well it looks like hes gonna play again
Cleared to do Football activities
I hope you've heard but he's been cleared to play again just today by doctors! At least in practices and such. I'm glad he's okay! 👍🙏
Not only did he make a full recovery he’s finally playing again which is so incredible to see!
he finally came back! woohoo
The similarities between this injury and Joe Theisman's are eerie.
-both had compound spiral fractures
-both happened on the same date
-both were playing in games for Washington
-both games had the same score
-both happened near the 40 yard line
-both were hit by a 3 time DPOY
-and just to put the cherry on top, Joe was at the game when Alex got injured.
Another creepy coincidence. Romeo Crennel was a coach, and present at both games....Weird as fudge..🤣😂😧😧😧. The Natives cast roots on the team for not changing the name
@@SpiritMover314 not all that creepy tbh
1) spiral fractures are usually always bad fractures due to the asymmetrical shape of the break
2) Thiesman played for the redskins so him being at the home game isnt strange at all
3) a 3x DPOY just indicated an elite/strong player caused the injury which would be expected as a little dude wouldnt be expected to cause such an injury
4)17-7 isnt that unusual a score in the nfl infact its about as standard as they come
5) the date is just one of 16 game days that the nfl calendar falls on annual game wise so again its not that shocking. its a merely 1/16 shot.
@@onebuffalo5402 that's not accurate about the dates. The day the games play on change yearly. The days, meaning Monday through Sunday remain the same.
@@SpiritMover314 Yeah we all got together and chanted until Alex Smith broke his leg.
@@onebuffalo5402 it was by the only 2 3 times dpoy in NFL history

DUDE OMG I'm literally watching this thinking the next pic of his leg can't get any worse and it just KEPT getting worse. The fact that he played today was amazing Alex Smith I am sooooooo proud of you and I'm not even a Washington fan congratulations
Bro the 4th pic of his leg popped up as I was reading this and oh my lord it’s bad
His leg looked like a cadaver's leg in an anatomy class. As if the instructor peeled away layer after layer to show the students. And some people will say it was god and a miracle. Um, actually it was an amazing medical team with several expert doctors and nurses who used years and decades (and centuries really) of accumulated knowledge. That's what saved his leg.

Man, Alex has been to Hell and back, with this injury..... Awesome insight into all of this stuff, Doc! Thanks!!!
Alex was treated badly by us chief fans, I feel bad for him. He did well for us but didn’t have the weapons
The answer is yes, he can come back and play professional football again. That's why we have words like "unprecedented" and "inspirational". Chief's fan here would love only one thing more than to see Alex Smith get to a SuperBowl.
Need more channels like these
'preciate it, 2pac
2pac na we just need this one coz he us great at it
He does know his shit so im stickin to this Doc lmao
@@francodahglizock0590 well he is a doctor
Alex Smith is honestly one of my all-time favorite players. He came to my Chiefs and, along with Andy Reid, helped the Chiefs become perennial playoff teams, and I was sad when he was traded but glad he got a big deal in DC. But then, the injury. That sucked so much.
He was a very large part of helping us climb out of obscurity, he has my thanks for being a consistently great qb for us.
Alex mentored Kaepernick and Mahomes into greatness. I'm upset Haskins ruined an opportunity with such a great mentor

Hey Brian. If you look at the end of the Documentary when he was running in the grass with his kids. You definitely can see in his gait he had some difficulty dorsiflexing and clearing the ground completely. I think the doctors did a good job controlling the necrotizing fasciitis from spreading because that is not easy to do my any means. Seems like they had to be aggressive in the early stages. Klay has a documentary coming up. I know you will be on that one! Good work brother!
Samuel Awosolu The amazing part is I knew most of what you are talking about from watching his channel.
Mhm, I completely agree with you, I know exactly what you were talking about
absolutely definitely no question ab it i know all the things u are talking ab no cap

I did not know how bad the infection got and wish him only the best in his recovery.
Yesterday he led his team to the Playoffs
Oh shit I never realised it got this bad. What a legend to be able to come back and play again
The real Iron Man, he came back from that horrific injury! A warrior for sure

Working in physical therapy myself, I appreciate all your education on medical issues with injuries to people who are not apart of the medical field. Plus you refresh my memory on medical terminology and function from my schooling days!
Jeremy Giese I’m a PTA and I completely agree! Love this channel!
Do you guys have any advice for someone with chronic knee dislocations? I've dislocated my left knee 15-20 times and my right knee about 5-7 times. My ortho said it was just how my legs are built, tall and skinny. And he didn't make me feel like surgery would help much either. I pretty much have given up on sports. 25 yrs old now 6 ft tall, 150lbs, and it happens less frequently now but only because I'm less active. I did physical therapy back in high school, i dislocated them alot playing soccer and basketball back then. I can't seem to build muscle in my left quad, and when i try to work out my legs alot, they always seem to dislocate eventually regardless of how much muscle I've built up. And then the quad muscle resets so i lose any progress I've made. I'm not overweight, which is what I've found usually leads to knee dislocations. Any exercises that could help or am i just fked? Lol i do squats, lunges and wall sits. Usually body weight stuff. The recommended easier leg raise exercises on my back and flexing the quad is uncomfortable and makes me feel like the kneecap will go out.
I know I'm late haha and yall probly won't read this novel, but any advice is appreciated.
squanchy squanch well I don’t know your medical history or current presentation. I would first advise seeking another orthopedic doc not a surgeon. She/He could direct you with exercises themselves or maybe another PT.
A lot of the times knee issues can be from very weak hips/low back, weak core stabilization, and mis-alignment with feet like excessive pronation/feet flat. I know some people are born with hip/knee angles that aren’t always ideal and tend to result in injuries but targeted exercises will help.
I would look to focus on a lot hip exercises and feet/ankle strength exercises. there are tons you can even find on TH-cam.
Another component is balance. You need your muscles to help keep proper joint alignment and improve your body’s ability to recover . Most people just think pure strength in one plain is enough(squats lunges deadlifts and so on) but you will need to focus on multiple planes of movements but also have a trained eye to watch you perform them correctly. That’s what I suggest but getting with a very reputable and trustworthy PT will help a lot. Good luck and hope this helps.
@@JeremyGiese thanks for your reply man. I do work on my balance quite a bit as well as stretching. And yes the hip muscles are crucial in my case but i figured just walking was the best for my hips ill have to look into workouts for them! I only know of one that combines hips/balance. The left knee is just extremely loose from multiple dislocations of varying severity and i have a very difficult time building/retaining muscle in the quad. Ill be fine for months at a time and then bam out of nowhere im walking and it slips out of place. But i appreciate the advice. I think more PT or at least more targeted workouts at the gym would be beneficial.
@@JeremyGiese you wouldn't know from looking at me that i have a chronic knee problem. Shit i had 'friends' in high school who thought i was faking it when i had a dislocation or that i just 'sprained' it or something haha as if i can't feel my own kneecap go out of place.
While I don’t expect Alex Smith to play another snap in the NFL his recovery has been nothing short of remarkable. Kudos to his doctors for being able to preserve most of his pre-injury quality of life.
Not only did he come back, but he went 5-2 and won the division for us.This includes a 4-game win-streak and defeating the 11-0 Steelers.
Couldn’t even sleep last night watching this on ESPN💪🏽🤙🏽 best of luck to Alex Smith
Bro seeing these pictures made me shake like a little girl and felt like puking. Made me appreciate Alex smith’s determination and strength to made it back on the field soooo much more. Mad respect man
Alex smith is a real warrior, this guy went through all that I honestly hope he wins a super bowl.
mans had half of his leg gone and came back regardless of how he plays his resiliency is unquestionied
Who’s here after he just got comeback player of the year
Doc you are AMAZING! Thankyou for doing this!
So happy he stepped back onto football field. This video brings a whole new meaning to his return for me and all he’s had to overcome. Great video!
Dr: so all this is bad tissue, an this is good tissue
Me: ah yes of course, I thought so
Hey Dr. Sutterer, I'm so curious how doctors control the amount of blood loss while removing so much muscle and skin from his lower leg?
I'm obviously not Dr. Sutterer but necrotic tissue doesn't bleed like normal tissue. And that exact method is used to determine viable tissue is if it bleeds normally or not. Once you get to bleeding tissue you should stop debriding. And while doing the debridements you have cautery tools to stop any small vessel bleeding as needed. Once you stop the small bleeders the tissue will be fully functional without any further blood loss, which should be minimal if done correctly.
They constantly cauterize all the small vessels that bleed as you approach the healthy tissue. Small vessels and capillaries are unique in that unlike large vessel they can pretty much grow back on their own. Ie: part of increasing cardiac output and VO2 max when aerobic training has to do with just increasing capillary and small vessel density(which allows for the transfer of oxygen to target tissues more rapidly and efficiently). Small vessels can grow and expand in the body to increase blood flow where as large vessels are anatomically set in their natural locations. So cauterizing all the small bleeding vessels will only temporarily halt the flow of blood before the body heals and regenerates them
thepatientadvocate how do they keep it from getting infected again?
@@SlipStreamTV antibiotics
Now he’s playing again. Truly amazing
He just won a thanksgiving game yesterday I don’t know how he did it what a man
Love watching all your videos! I’m a physical therapy student and your videos are helpful in seeing how doctors see, treat, and think about sports injuries before they begin therapy. I appreciate that you link important articles/studies too-I always add those to my to-read lists. Keep up the great work, Brian. Also, Go Cardinals!
Unbelievable. Never knew this. Thank you doctor.
After seeing this video I have just an unbelievable respect for Alex Smith. Mad props to the come back player of the year
thank you so much for the analysis and explaining whats going on i really appreciate it!
I seriously learn so much with your videos! We need more educational channels like these.
Wow, thank you for doing this breakdown. I knew Alex Smith had it bad after hearing about all the surgeries and sepsis and possibility of amputating the leg, but WOAH I did not realize how brutal limb salvage was. What an amazing recovery Alex has already come through and continual prayers for complete healing!
Awesome video and breakdown. Thank you for sharing this information and knowledge with us in regards to Alex Smith’s injury.
Where is Goku with his Senzu Beans when you need him
Welcome back, Alex. You earned it.
This may be my favorite video of yours. This was fascinating
Very educational video Doc, I enjoyed listening to your insightful explanation on his injury. Thank you for sharing !
I went right over to the documentary after this!! Thanks Dr.
Great explanations...clear and concise without being overly technical...Good job Dr. Sutterer...thanks.
God Bless you Alex stay strong man snd look forward to seeing you on Sundays again ...and a huge Thank You to you Doc awesome content look forward to your vids
Thanks doc for the insightful videos as always!
love these videos. so interesting. a side of sports you rarely get to see.
Who's here after he stepped on the field??againt the La rams
Just want to throw this out there. Im really happy that you share your expertise with us lay folk, it goes to show your love for your practise, that you use your spare time to dig deeper into health related issues. Keep it up!
Thanks!!
Love Your Content Brian The Goat DR.
I’m only at the beginning but this is so amazing and interesting! Thank you for making this.
Who’s here after Alex Smith led his team to a win against the undefeated Steelers. What a guy man.
Dr. Sutter, I really appreciate your detailed frame-by-frame analysis of the nature of the initial injury and the subsequent infections, treatment, prognosis, etc. Well worth watching. I prefer this to the actual ESPN documentary. Well done.
Thanks for all this indepth work Dr. Shutteter. A. Smith is lucky he did not lose his leg. I am amazed at the complexity of this surgery to transplant muscle and skin in order to repair these tissues as much as possible. He definately wont be the same player, but i am just shocked at this man's metal strength. He made it back and is playing well. Trully unveliebable!
great work Brian, excellent analysis
He’s back to playing, amazing. New subscriber Doc, you’re very informative and enjoying your videos.
Great video doc, great insight layered on a truly inspirational story
So insightful. Thank you!
Great video Doc! Appreciate your medical insights
That was way cool. Thanks for going through that so thoroughly.
thumbs up to a very enlightening and respectful presentation, not to the injury to AS and the suffering he endured. God Bless AS
This is incredible - fantastic work
I learned so much with your videos. Ty!
He came back, played and even started. UNBELIEVABLE Retired a few days ago good for him what an accomplishment because I’m sure they were trying to talk him into cutting that leg off to save his life from that infection pure craziness
AMAZING what he accomplished.coming back after the nightmare he went througj
Keep up the good work love these knowledge
Wow!! Que Hombre! What determination, and what a triumph.
You were fantastic Doc! You explained every detailed in language I could understand thanks!
Got his first snap today. Glad to see him back!
Love your videos Brian! Been watching you for years now and just came across the news that I live in the same town as you.
I could have never seen pictures like this on my own but for some reason you make me feel i dont know if comfortable is the word but a little more at ease with just how bad and graphic his injury was very informative
What an outstanding video. Really, very interesting stuff, thank you
Dig the new setup. As always, great video!
Alex is a lot stronger than I am. Because after all this, I would have retired and said no more.
Wow! Humbled by this informative youtube video. Thanks!
If I had that happen to my leg I’d never go back to the field. The guy is a damn trooper. Amazing to see him on the field today.
Just learned about BFR in PT school. Another great video Doc!
Congratulations to Alex Smith for winning the Comeback player of the year! :D
this might be your best video to date doc. thanks for this. very informative.
What a compliment!! Thanks! The show gave me a lot to talk about and I enjoyed the teaching, thank you!
Thank you for the education
Great Video Doc This Was Very Informative 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Great video,very fascinating to see what happened to him since i missed the aired episode on espn
11.18.85 with Theismann and 11.18.18 with Alex Smith. Injuries that will haunt Washington fans forever
This informative breakdown was better than the documentary itself, I didnt realize it was necrotizing fasciitis, he is lucky to have his leg, makes you realize we all are lucky to have simple abilities we surely take for granted
The explanation was awesome 👏🏿
Phenomenal information, very informative, I love nerding on anatomy, lol.
Who’s here while watching the la rams game
Wow, medicine is fascinating they essentially made a tibialis anterior and anterior musculature from his quads and gastrocnemius. Wow that rehab had to be something else. Great video!
as a medical student i loved this video from you doctor! hope you don't get demonetized because of the explicit but obviously highly educational pictures
Thank you for sharing your medical perspective on his injury. I recently broke my left tibia, fibula, and calcaneus. For repair my surgeon used intermedullary rod placement on the tibia & ORIF of my malleolous. So for me this was inspirational and very informative :). I'll be sure to check out the documentary too! Thanks again!
