Big thanks to Ridge for sending me this wallet and supporting this channel! Here's the site if you want to check them out > Ridge.com/BRIANMD
Brian Sutterer MD doc, where the break occurred is not where the contact happened. it was lower. take a closer look.
I carry a ridge for 3 years now and Its beat up and looks better all the time. Quality product.
I love it and really do use it!
Tim Jones it is junk. can't put any real money in it. need a woman's wallet to fit money in.
Do Pacquiao v Margarito sir
Margarito's Injury
The fact that it literally wrapped around the other guy's leg, it makes me cringe
😧😱
Imagine getting leg kicked and you feel something wrap around it.
My goodness....... what a crazy injury. It seems like it was a freak accident but damn, Silva’s lower legs seem too small to begin with?
Bro we must have the same taste because you go from wide ranges gaming doctor videos baskestball videos ECERYTHING WHYYY
Other guy? Casual!!!
I asked my mom and it was because Silva didn't drink his milk 100%.
Ahhh... yeah that checks out
Lol
Or maybe because of that damn phone
He was on his damn phone too much obviously...
He plays too much video games
It’s also important to note that before this infamous leg check, Weidmen checked a kick maybe 30 seconds earlier that cracked his shin
yes, sir! was looking for this comment, that first check is extremely important in this discussion, this dude hasn't even seen the fight and he's talking about it.
Left on third base holding a catcher's mitt Silva
This isn't reliably verified though. It's related to something Dana White said but White has a habit of exaggerating things or sometimes just coming up with stuff for reporters. He said that he heard that Silva's corner talked about how Silva's leg cracked in a 1st round check, but Silva's corner speaks Brazilian Portuguese and White doesn't, so it's all 2nd hand info. And the corner could have been wrong. Maybe Silva was just saying that the earlier check hurt a bit but it wasn't actually a crack.
@@seba247 You can't see the supposed crack even if you watch the fight. There's no sign whatsoever that Silva had been injured from an earlier kick.
Jalmari Ikävalko yea you might be right, just thought it was interesting
CZcams: Hey remember ten years ago when that man's leg turned into a noodle?
Me: I do.
CZcams: Wanna watch it again like sixteen times?
Me: *sigh* I guess.
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA i thought the same xD
Silva’s leg turned into linguini 😨😨
If you are talking about the fight that wasn’t 10 years ago
@@beachboytyler7574 Hey champ, wanna go look up the definition of "whimsy" and "hyperbole" for me?
Asdayasman that’s not even what I’m talking about. I’m only talking about the fight not about how his leg turned into a noodle.
Imagine breaking a bone like that in a time before surgery was an option! 😱
There is a reason the steriotypical piratecaptain have a wooden leg and a hook instead of a hand...
Trey Boles I see you are a man of culture.
@Light Work because serious injuries back then would often lead to amputation
I highly doubt it would be problematic if no arteries/nerves would be severed ; all you need for a fracture to heal is proper alignment ; and immobilization
Fractures heal even without proper alignment ; it will just lose function ( maybe? ) - see clavicle fractures
I remember exactly where I was when that happened. I was at Wild Wing with a client of mine, who is a surgeon, and he turned to me and said "that's a fracture." Gee, you don't say...

Who's here after this exact thing happened except it was wiedman this time
"Most severe injury in the sport's history"
Evangelista Santos's caved-in skull: am I a joke to you?
Buhls skull got shattered and then on the ground has a poke ball thrown at him
"Many consider to be the most severe injury in the sports history"
This is definitely a lesser known injury, since it was a less prolific fighter in a less prolific promotion. Lucky for Santos, it was a frontal sinus fracture and didn't actually cave his skull in. He broke the bones in front of his sinuses, rather than breaking a skull plate, so harder to say how much worse it was than a tib/fib fracture (since I'm not a doctor).
Thinking he could beat a prime strikeforce nick diaz. He was a joke to me
the title doesn't actually say most severe, but most famous....

Stop with the overused meme, idiot.

5:44 “he did a good job stabilizing the leg” yeah, as I’m sure most people who break a bone just start doing the cha-cha
You'd be surprised man, people go into shock and freak out. I just watched a video of a guy who tried to smack a driver and when the car whipped out away from him, running over and shattering his leg just like Silva. Only difference was this dude got up and tried running way like Woody before he quickly fell over.
Sorry, this was the best version I could find.

Two guys tried to rob a police officer. I can't remember exactly how bad was that leg, but at least 1 bone was broken
czcams.com/video/dUHntrRv6Gg/video.html
i dont get how this helps how is it seven possible that the bones ends still touch each other after this fracture
Fuck it Emma watch Ur disgusting leg break videos. Therefore throwing away my want to use my legs for the rest of the day
The crazy thing is that Chris Weidman just tried this exact move tonight and the same exact fracture happened to him this time.. Prayers up for him 🙏🏽
Amen🙏🤲✝️

SAME 😭🤣🤣
@@tomhall4986 nigga I seen like a thousands comments of that stfu
Silva never really "recover" after this injury. His "comeback" fights were never the same.
I think you can't blame it all to the injury. When he came back from injury he's like 40 sth, of course he wouldn't have the same speed and reaction and movement as he was in his prime.
@@DXHBKRKOY2J In addittion to this there could also be a psychological component, when you injury youself like this is difficult to not be incredibly afraid to hurt youself again in the same way
The Dark Knight I agree, I know I wouldn’t be too keen on fighting again after wrapping my leg around another dude’s leg like a drunk driver on New Years into a light pole
thats not the reason dude hes fucking 45 years old bro do you see a bigger reason??? if the surgery was good and not like in the picture he showed with the rod then its forgettable after 2 years
DXHBKRKOY2J he only won once after this against Derek Brunson:/
Crazy how life comes full circle
I quit amateur mma 15 years ago after going shin to shin and the feeling like I was struck by lightning made me reevaluate what I was really doing there. Just remembering how torn up a bruised my legs and shins were
Whenever I feel like tough guy and want a fight I watch a video like this and then I wrap
Myself up in a soft quilt and shiver!.
Silva: kicks and breaks leg
His leg: *lets bring it around town*
Ayyee productions i kinda feel bad for laughing at that XD
Double take 3 times
He almost tickled Weidman’s butt with his toes.
I watched it happening live and it was devastating.... my mma hero just broke his leg :((( and he never was the same fighter after that injury.
Really
I was rooting for him both fights I remember he got cocky the first one
Did you watch it today??
If I was an MMA fighter, I’d literally never throw a leg kick again. And I’d *DAMN SURE* never do it if I was the one who that happened to. And didn’t Silva come back in like 8 months??? Dear God, the man’s a maniac
And won only 1 fight. It was followed be a string of losses
@@wfTitus Yeah, he should've stayed away from UFC for life after the fracture. The fracture obviously fucked him.
This injury ruined his career. He was already on a downturn from clowning too much with weidman and having a freak knockout loss. The rematch with the leg wrap....god. No matter how good his striking and kicking still was, his subconscious had to fight him every single step of the way for any future kicks, and that impacted his explosiveness... He was also getting older. I wish Silva would of had a better finish to his career.
my shin started hurting when I watched this
I drink milk
Same 😆
I feel like Weidman's career has officially come full circle now
what part of his tibia is connected via the internet to my mandible that forces my jaw to drop in terror and disgust every time I watch this, almost a decade later?
Dude got what he deserved.
3:38 “Whip that leg around” Video shows his leg around the other knee 🤮
Whos here after weidman vs hall?
That was so nasty bro, I hope Chris is ok
Dr Brian, I was genuinely cringing throughout the video but I learnt so much, thank you. Love from South Africa.
One of the most interesting channels on CZcams!
Keep going Brian 🤙🏽
The rumor is that Silva had already injured that leg severely during training camp and did more when the previous kick got checked .
that was just what dana white said at the presser
This "discussion" is exactly what I was looking for, great video ♥️ + your way of explaining things is excellent
When the saying "break a leg" gets taken LITTERALLY!
Stop
when people say “break a leg”, they’re hoping you get the cast. lol learned that a few months ago

Look into tony Fergusons knee injury and his recovery, it sounds crazy that he recovered in like 6 months

Just happened to Chris Weidman tonight, the guy who beat Anderson for the belt years ago. Crazy huh.
"I hope you guys enjoyed taking a look at..." NO! I really didn't!

It's honestly scary that this happened to the exact same fighter which he broke his leg with
I came here to understand how this happens
Bro it’s like Silva passed the torch

Thank you for educating us Mr. Sutter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Update: Weidmen just broke his own shin on Uriah Hall.

Thank you sir and you really cleared up a lot of questions I had really appreciate that
I watched this fight live and always wondered what happened there, thanks for the explanation.
I bet you been a busy Dorctor during these past 3 weeks. Thanks for the video
Chris Weidman brought me here
Thumbs up!!! Loved the content and the format of your videos!
As someone who has been Thai boxing since I was 12 I just wanted to say thank you for the explanation and to my knowledge you are 100% correct about conditioning. The purpose of the conditioning exercises we do is to “kill” the subsurface nerves that are between the bone and that thin layer of skin. That way when you kick or check a kick you aren’t hopping around on one foot like your grandpa after hitting his shin on the coffee table. Thumbs up doc. Keel em coming
Do Pacquiao vs Margarito’s eye
Yes, I want to know the science behind it
mexican to korean
It is called the Pacquiao punch effect.
Margarito finally felt how getting hit with plaster felt like without the use of plaster
Do Juan Manuel Marquez KO of Pacquiao
He was training only a few days before the fight and he has Muay Thai training and part of Muay Thai is shin hardening due to repetitive creation and healing of micro fractures so what probably happened was there wasn’t enough time for Silva’s micro fractures in his leg to heal and the kick was kinda the final straw
This is super speculative. It's not like every training session in muay thai has shin hardening. It's just something people who train muay thai periodical do.
And I think it's quite a stretch to assume he did this very close to the actual fight.
And you also do not need a microfracture too explain a fracture like this happening in these circumstances.
It might aswell break without a micro fracture.
Samsonerd true, you’re probably right shin conditioning pre fight would be a pretty stupid move
shin conditioning is bullshit
Very informative. I went through a similar injury but with the compound fracture. In surgery I ended up getting a nail as well and so far so good, honestly just feels sore after a long session of exercise, especially the high impact types like running or basketball.
amazing video, well covered content
It's very good to point out "Kick Checks". Weidman checked *every kick* Silva was throwing. If you watch the fight again it even looks like an amateur mistake.
I'm not Anderson but, as a fighter, I think he was setting up a high kick and that's why he kept kicking with force. So he could eventually kick high and Weidman would try to low-check and be hit by a head kick.
Count the kicks that Weidman Checked. I was surprised his leg didn't break earlier.
Well I don't think fighters before this were thinking that a check could actually end a fight, just hurt somewhat.
@@Keithustus This has happened before in other fights. I remember joking "That check is 6months of phisiotherapy".
Of course I didn't expect Silva's leg to break in half but the injury was obvious (To me and my friends) so I think it's not unreasonable to think that pro fighters were aware of the possibility.
How would inserting the rod into his leg affect his bone marrow?
Plenty of other areas of bone marrow in the body that contribute to production of blood cells
Actually, what do bone marrows do?
@@hangover4833 It makes you red blood cells
@@hangover4833 Hematopoietic Stem Cell Niche. Gives rise to all blood (& immune) cells in the body.
Alex Amaya kidneys produce a hormone called EPO that promotes making red blood cells but the kidneys do not directly make them
Great job breaking it down doc! 🤙🤙🤙🙏🙏🙏

Who is here after Wideman has the exact same injury last night!?!
Watching these types of videos makes me feel fragile. I’m scared to move. Thankfully I haven’t broken a bone YET😭
Been watching for a while and just noticed I had not subscribed to your channel. My bad! Keep growing 💪🏽
ive never had a ton of interest in medical...anything, but i found myself binging this guy's videos lol, so informative and genuinely interesting

this is v informativ, thanks

Well another one of those brakes just happen tonight..What’s crazy is that night you’re speaking about happened to Anderson’s competitor Chris just a little bit ago how bazaar
As a PTA I’ve worked with a lot of ORIF’s and llizarov fixators and the like and all I can say is I’m glad Silva didn’t develop any osteomyelitis or any other severe infection. I’ve seen more than a few failed attempted fixations result in a later amputation.
