Man his face of shock sucks seeing stuff like that best of luck for his recovery
I took that more as absolute fear. He was desperate to make eye contact with the ref. The shock prob came soon after the clip ended.
Regardless, I don't enjoy that face.
😂😂😂😂dude's like "yo ref where tf my leg go?" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The other guy is like
"dude was that your f***king leg?!!"
😢
I broke my femur and severed my femoral artery when I was 12 years old. Luckily, the broken bone didn't break my skin or else I'd have bled out. 2 specialist surgeons were able to repair the femoral artery with part of an ankle vein, and set the bone with a metal rod. I spent a month in the hospital with machines removing blood from my leg before I was able to attempt walking again. Over a year of physical therapy before having the rod removed from my leg. Now, miraculously, my leg is still functioning and I live a normal life. Without incredible work from those surgeons, I could have died or lost my leg. This type of injury is no joke.
It wasn’t during soccer practice, was it?
Holy crap!! That’s awesome those surgeons could help you. How was your physical therapy experience after surgery? Just curious
It wasn’t a soccer injury, it was a sledding accident. Physical therapy was tough, it was almost all in water to reduce the strain on my leg. I still have some muscle tissue that never grew back properly and nerve damage in areas. Besides that though, there’s no lingering problems and I can function normally.
@@venomgames42.. what doesn’t kill u makes u stronger
@@ThePartarar I played soccer for over 20 years and never even heard of anyone breaking a femur, so stop hating the sport you know nothing about.
My boy Brian just kept replaying that break....
We like it!
Its so weird seeing a bend above the knee...hope that dude recovers quickly
no way it'll be quick
@@KeyserSoze23 probably a year minimum
God it looks so painful.
@@Idiotsincarshereso much more unfortunately.
Real rehab, if he ever gets back to full rehabilitation, is going to take 2 years at least I think
@@Adamanthon Not from what rehabs, doctors, and the NIH say. Google "athletes femur fracture recovery time". 6 months to 1 year after surgery is the timeline. 3-6 months for non athletes. That's just to resume ADLs.
This kid must have the strongest ACL of all time. It’s incredible that the femur would give out before the knee
I have a cousin that is paralyzed from the chest down. Later he was in a car wreck where he broke a femur. He didn't know it until the next day. The Dr told him it's a good thing he couldn't feel it. The pain would have been agonizing
but its not a good thing that HE IS PARALYZED. poor fellow.
@@SaiKumar-qs9lyi think he meant he was paralyzed before he broke the femur
My fear of breaks like this is why I quit skating. I grew up playing sports and so no matter what I tried I couldn't ignore the instinct to try to save my fall (good skaters will tell you that you need to accept it and learn to fall safely). Trying to save my fall kept putting me into sketchy positions like this and after a few lesser injuries including a nasty knee hyperextension, I had to be real with myself and admit I didn't love skating enough to risk it. This must be devastating for Dylan Reischman, I really hope he makes a healthy recovery. Wishing nothing but the best for him.
I snapped my acl and tore my miniscus and im still skating, you learn how to bail properly don't quit on something just cuz you're scared... Get back on it bro!!
I feel ya. I broke my left wrist and (compound) fractured both my radius and my ulna in my right arm skating when I was younger. Also broke two ribs in a trampoline mishap and fractured my jaw along with knocking a front tooth out in a BMX wreck. Didn't care much at the time, just figured it came with the "go big or go home" mindset my friends and I always employed. "No pain, no gain, right brah?!" Looking back on it now though... considering the niggling effects I'm getting more and more prone to feeling as I get older... probably wasn't worth it. However, as a slight consolation, my body is pretty good at predicting when it's going to rain now.
Ouch hope he’ll be ok. That was scary to watch.
My school nurse: “It aint even that bad, ur probably faking it. Heres an icepack.”
oh yeah he’ll be fine
Ooooooooh shiiiiiiiii- That's maybe the gnarliest mma injury I've seen.
Seeing his leg contort like that, and the horrified faces of both the fighters... I started to gag from seeing that! Dylan's leg being limp like that... I really hope Dylan can recover from that. Utterly scary and horrifying!
I’ve broken both my femurs. The worst pain I’ve ever felt in my life
My mother was hit by a drunk driver when she was like 12 and her femur was broken
She’s 76 now and repeatedly says that was the worst pain she ever felt (and she gave birth twice)
Yikes. How the hell did you break both femurs? The amount of force required to break both femurs at the same time is hard to contemplate. Some kind of automobile accident, I'd imagine?
My bet is on snowboarding or skiing, let's see how this one plays out
I can’t even imagine the pain.
I mean, fwiw, he probably didn't feel it? By the time the shock wore off, he'd have been so doped up on pain meds he'd be tasting colours.
I mean, you'd hope, anyways
witnessed a femur break. skateboard camp. an inexperienced skater tried to drop in on a Vert ramp. fall and broke his femur. I can still hear his screams. sounded like what I assume dying soldiers sound like on a battlefield. just intense crying pain and panic. seen many accidents, never seen a reaction like that.
I was about to send you this! You’re on it Doc! 👍🏼
I am so glad you did not include any sound with that little inset video of the fall.
Well... i was able to watch about 20 seconds of the end of this video. Man that was brutal. Ive heard the pain of this break is substantial! It is clear though that the fighter was in immediate shock and likely not feeling the break just yet. At least thats how my breaks have gone. That said... ive never broken one of my baseball bats before.
Me too!
I can tell you first hand.. July 15, so a little under 2 months ago, I suffered a spiral fracture to my right femur and it was the worst pain I ever felt in my entire life... I was born with rheumatoid arthritis so as a kid I experienced A LOT of it lol
This injury is absolutely terrible though.. I wound up having a plate and screws surgically implanted and I got a gnarly gash that took 66 staples to seal up from the surgery. Looks cool.. the first 2 days are by far the worst
@jeffdeming8811 Dang! I have no idea how bad that was. I'm sorry to hear of your struggles and life-long walk with pain. I have Dercums Disease, and it's been difficult, but it hasn't had any influence on my bones or joints. I broke my radius and ulna in a skating fall, which sucked, but again, I can't hold a candle to your experience.
I only brought my experiences up to let you know you're not alone. Your story, though terribly painful to hear, resonated with me. I know a little of what it's like, and I just appreciate that you shared what I am sure is just a small sanitized fraction of your pain and struggles. Best wishes.
Thank you! I know everyone has their own struggles, and of course it's not about who is worse or who has hurt longer or how bad their experience was. We are all humans, we all hurt when wounded or injured. I have no idea what Decrums disease is but I'm certainly going to look it up to learn about it a bit.
While my injury was indeed terrible, the bright side is I seem to be healing quite well, all things considered. As for the RA , that's just something I've adjusted to my whole life so while it's not a great quality of life, it's a quality of life I've become accustomed to, and half ass content with lol. Don't matter the cards we're dealt because you never know what you'll catch on the river 😀 poker reference lol
As for your struggles, I am definitely sorry to hear that. No broken bones are ever kind to the body and painful to endure to an extent. I hope you're finding ways to cope with your disease as well my friend and thanks for sharing your story as well.
You folks are strong AS F***. That’s all I came to say 💪🏽 stay well
Love your videos been subscribed for a long time now
Keep up the great work
Your Farmer Friend from Wisconsin 👍🐄🐮
I hate to see this kind injuries! 😢
Good info.
The pain looks so intense, his face just shows the trance he been sent into. Just to cope.
I have only met one person who had broken his femur and some other bones in the same leg from a motorbike accident. His leg is now slighly shorter (1-2cm) then the other.
No idea if that is common after recovering. Would suck, because that can mean retirement in majority of sports at low and all the way to high levels that dont support footwear to make up for the limp/wont pass the medical clear to compete.
omg, I hope Dylan recovers fully!
I had myself injured in a similar position, my opponent was trying to lift & drop me with a bear hug and I planted my right foot (should've just let him drop me lol) which resulted in a hamstring tear. Seeing this I realise how lucky I was.
My buddy broke his femur via crushing injury. He had a metal rod inserted and lived with it for years until it began to hurt chronically. He then had it removed but had a hard time finding a ortho doc that would risk it.
Like risk putting it back in, or what?
He _had it_ removed or _wanted to have it_ removed
@@BobbySacamano yea wanted makes more sense
@@j0eyhz620 the risk was removing it. Most docs were fearful of re-fracturing the bone. For all intents and purposes, the rod had fused with his femur. Orthopedic surgery is very violent. Removing it was risky. He did get it done was on light duty for a few months and was back to normal after.
@@BobbySacamano he HAD it removed. Like I wrote. Took a while to find a doc that would do it tho. The doc removed it via an incision in his hip.
im so happy i can look at your face instead of the broken leg
That one was hard to watch. Hopefully recovery goes well.
I broke my femur in a motocycle accident, they put a rod on it, but the main problem i see is this: to put the rod, they have to open your knee and make a hole on the botton of the femur witch is basically the top part of the knee. My femur healed completely in tree months, but my knee was never the same, and the pain to start to bend it again was brutal. Honestly, if I was a atlete and had a broken femur I would prefer they put a plate and not a rod.
That was gnarly. Goodness 😢
Hey Doc, can u do a video explaining what the Pats mean by saying Juju knee could explode at any time and it’s a mess ? I never heard about a knee exploding.
My neighbor broke both her legs last year, one femur, and the other was tibia and ankle. Dog pushed her down the deck staircase, and the ground was uneven at the bottom when she tried to plant
Poor kid. Only 21 in his pro debut.
Wow!!
What a horrific fracture!! I hope it's only the femur and no ligaments, than he will have a speedy and complete recovery!!
Saw this happen at a wrestling tournament in Butte, Mt Western Regional USAW. 16 yr old planted wrong while trying to counter a throw and his femur snapped like a tree branch. It was a freak accident and not as dramatic as the mma one depicted, but the angle and twisting makes since now that the dr explains it. I'll never forget that sound.
Hate to see it. all the best for recovery
i completely ruptured my platella last year..still recovering..didnt have surgery..any suggestions for complete heal?
Could you do a video about the Daytona Nascar driver crash. His eyes are bloodshot and bruised. I just want to know about the reason why that happens.
I would expect this kind of horrific injury in competitive Twister, not MMA
😂😂😂😂💯🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🐖
This is an injury I expected in Dana White Powerslap.
My jujitsu professor trained this kid and was telling me about this so I had to look it up. Holy shit that looks painful, even his opponent looked like he was about to puke.
I was eating when this video autoplayed but I powered through!
If you go find the video of this and listen, you can HEAR the snap of the bone... and you C also see what Looks like the bone sticking out just above the knee.. ugh
First time I've seen a vid with a break this way. Looks horrific. Hope he was in shock and couldn't feel the pain cuz I can't imagine how brutal that pain would be
If it didn't break, I imagine several other things would have (or tore or fractured), which combined, coumd be worse long term.
Femur's gotta hurt the worst and be the most dangerous, though.
Yeah I originally thought “better a break than a tear”
i’d imagine all his knee ligaments would have been torn if his femur didn’t break. this one was weird 😮
Watch the full clip Brian. It was compound. As he gets up his femur comes out of the skin
Dudes got some strong knees for that to happen
Im wondering if there is less risk of blood vessel rupture in fractures as opposed to a ligament injury? I would have thought you would mention something about the blood supply as i thought the femur produces a lot of the bodys blood. Just curious 😊
That side of blood related complications is more long term and marrow in other bones can be converted to active blood producing marrow in times of need. The major blood related risk is the fractured bone hitting the femoral artery. It's more of a risk with bones since bone fragments are sharp but joint injuries can cause vessels to effectively be kinked off which is less dangerous from a bleeding perspective. Obviously can cause problems but it's usually tissue death from cut off blood supply and not overall death from bleeding
he discussed blood flow issues on the one about the Bears TE that dislocated his knee in New Orleans .
First time i see someone breaking their femur in a sport. Usually horrific leg injuries we see is sports are lower leg injuries. Looked absolutely astrocious. Cant imagine the pain of such a large bone breaking like that. I hope the fighter makes a complete recovery.
Opponent looks at him like, why you got three knees bro?
I had a similar LOOKING injury, but it was my knee while drunk wrestling at 17. I Had my friends head wrapped in a headlock with my right arm. And since he was taller and heavier I tried to use leverage but My left foot was planted firm in a hole, and my leg went right, but my body went left, so my ligaments ripped on the inside. My outer ankle was touching my thigh and hip. My friend had also landed on me since I had him in a headlock. When I pushed him off of me I snapped to the other side like I was a mousetrap. I don't know how it didn't break but ever since then my left knee has been weak. I'm 28 now and I can still move my knee in a funny way lol
Brutal
Kinda late, but can you cover why racing drivers get bloodshot eyes and bruising after barrel rolling. Ryan Preece looks all kinds of messed up right now
his head banged around a little bit . the g forces can cause blood vessels to rupture , so the blood shot eyes are from that
Holy crap this is horrific
Damn bro easy w the slow mo re runs 😂
Thanks for not needlessly censoring
When I first saw this I thought it was a knee dislocation a femur fracture is actually insane
It’s probably not insane just exceedingly rare we never expect it’s possible. Yeah it certainly looked like a knee dislocation at first glance but that would be helluva lot worse for the victim, luckily (or unluckily).
OMG I cringed as I was watching this slow-mo clip play out 😰
Damn.
I can usually handle the content of these videos, but my god, that's tough to watch. You can't help but feel terrible for the dude.
There has to have been some damage before this fight because the genus is such a strong bone this wouldn’t normally break it
He’s my coach, he’s recovered and has been training
Could his bones be weak because he's been dieting to get into a lower weight grade?
Do you feel that even a properly rehabbed ACL reconstruction is probably a career ending injury for a MMA fighter?
Fun fact, Justin Herbert actually broke his femur in is junior year of high school in like the second football game of the year
Ah this hurt me watching.
Looking at all these different brutal injuries for a living… did this particularly brutal one make you cringe at all? I feel like I can feel this video in my leg.
I don't think this guy would ever walk again
He was like WHOA, WHOA, WHAT DA FOOK!!!!!!!!!!
F*** that’s gnarly
He grew a knee.
Looks to me like his foot must’ve gotten stuck on the mat and his bone just couldn’t with stand leverage, body weight and force from that takedown
Oh good god 😵
I know it’s not sports related but you should do video on Mitch McConnel I’d love to hear a doctors perspective on what’s happening to him. It’s been documented twice now on camera it’s something we can’t ignore when these people are making laws we have to live by
from the npr stuff about it his dr and neurologist team blame it on a concussion . idk
If someone is slamming you, you gotta just accept it and let it happen. You cannot give in to that instinct to post your arm or leg, you'll never be able to hold up your weight plus your opponent's weight plus negate the momentum of the slam with just an arm or leg.
Alrighty, time to get the squinting eyeglasses on folks. Definitely gonna want them for this one.
Any femur break is bad, but this a a BAD femur break. I hope the arteries and nerves are OK. This is likely something he will struggle with for the rest of his life. It's going to be a lot of work, but he can almost certainly get back to basic normal functioning. But it is a very difficult injury to completely recover from. Some level of chronic pain is not uncommon and the muscles and knee are never quite the same again.
Ok this makes me cringe!!! Because I broke my femur not even 2 months ago . I was at a concert in London Ontario, Rock the park at Harris Park... it was raining that day and the ground was like a clay kind of muddy wet ground.. I slipped, did the splits, left leg went forward, right leg went back and my right ankle was turned so the indoor of my foot was facing the ground.. I came down directly on my right leg (I'm 246 lbs) and it snapped my femur / dislocated my knee at the same time. I blacked out from the pain of it . I woke up and emt Staff at the concert were trying to move me to a cart to take me up the the hil to get to an ambulance.. I had to hold my leg together using my pant legs... let me tell ya, this injury is no joke.. and it hurts like a mother effer
I didn't have a rod inserted. I have a plate with screws all the way up my hip
1-2-3 years healing time and he may never recover from this injury.
damn
I think the doc is a saddist for replaying that break so many times.
I wanted to watch but I had to skip through most of the video LOL
After 10 seconds I switched to listening rather than watching this post 😉
He will never be back to 100% after this IMO. Even if it only means he can't train as hard or has to use different methods to get around the injury, that's a massive difference in the top levels of sport... I hope he's an outlier, but odds are this has massive negative implications to his career...
SCP-106 is looking for him
This had got to be the worst leg break in the history of the sport!
jason kendall’s at first after hitting it wrong was the worst ever . Joe Thiesman’s was also bad
@@peterf.229 I'm talking about MMA buddy
😮
Please do Thug Rose Namajunas
Can we also appreciate that takedown
My understanding is a femur break is about as painful an injury as one can suffer.
Listening but can’t watch
Saw a girl playing goalie in soccer ram another girl diving on her legs. The striker broke her leg just like this and the sound was horrific, could hear it on the sidelines. Crazy.
He needs some milk!
I always thought all femur breaks were life-threatening?
Another shaun Livingston injury.
lol
😳
Yikes
Exact reason People Need to not Get Near Me. 😁
Wtf😮
His femur breaks out of the skin if you watch the full video.
Kit Kats will never taste the same
I don't get it.
@@infinitemonkey917I figure "gimme a break," though there's a path to get there.
@@BobbySacamano Ahh, that sort of makes sense.
The worst ever, oh ma god men
Grab his femur and twist it
#Holy 💩
#AhFuqMe 🤦🏽♂️🤢
