Broken Knee
According to the surgeon, the quad muscle was too strong for the bone at the top of the tibia. The muscle pulled where the patella tendon attaches to the top of the tibia and broke it in half and separated the top of the tibia from the rest of the leg. Much swelling, much pain and 4 screws later the doctors expect a full recovery. The really strange thing is he was preparing to jump in warmups and crumpled to the floor. He said he thought he broke it but the trainers didn't.... No one believed the xrays.
