Nastiest Injury you've witnessed....

[tmp44]

I was doing an IM game about 2 or 3 years ago, guy gets trapped in the corner and he slips and his legs go out from underneath him. His kneecap ended up almost on the backside of his leg. I saw him a week later...he tore everything in his knee....ACL, MCL, PCL, and patella tendon.

Varsity boys a few weeks ago. A driving basket, B gets called for a block as both players fall to floor. B tries to break his fall and I watch as his forearm zigs, then zags. Talked to AD following week. Broken in 3 places with 4 pins and multiple screws. Nastiest looking thing I have seen.

Second was when coaching. Player banged knees with D while scrimaging and dislocated kneecap. That was tough to look at. Also - was at end of practice and we were supposed to have parent conferences in the gym that night. We made them hold off on bringing in the tables/chairs etc until after the paramedics had taken her away. YUK!

I had a teammate once who dislocated his shoulder about every other game his senior year. It was a football injury that started it all. Nothing compares, though, to the stuff I've read here. Glad I'm done with lunch.
