  • Zach Miller of the Chicago Bears suffered a knee dislocation that resulted in him nearly losing his leg.
    I'm a doctor and a sports fan and in this video I'm going to teach you some basics about knee dislocations and why amputation is a real risk with these injuries. It is by far one of the most devastating injuries we've seen recently, but there are still some valuable learning points in it.
    Go check out the other knee dislocations i've talked about already!

      I was so scared for him during the rest of that game. Also, that should have been a fucking touchdown! Like sir we need to talk options, we may need to amputate. Did they at least overturn the call?? No. Fuck.

    I had the same thing happen. My knee bent back like that and it shattered my tibia plateau and tore my ACL as I came down. By the time they got me into surgery my leg was so swollen that I had really bad compartment syndrome and the Doctor cut my leg open on both sides to lower the pressure. Nothing changed, my muscles were no longer getting blood flow. For fear that he might have to amputate my leg, the doctor waited a extra 5 minutes. According to the surgical notes, with 30 seconds left my muscles started to finally get blood flow.
    I then had to stay at the hospital for 7 days, with both sides of my leg still open. Which is a really weird feeling and site. Then they brought me back to surgery. Shaved of strips of skin off my thigh and grafted it to both sides of my leg. I was then sent home, and told that I had to have another surgery in a year to repair the ACL and remove the hardware from my leg. I spent 4 months off my feet. The nerves in my leg were messed up and my right foot felt dead. I had to wear a ankle brace to support my ankle which would give out once I started walking. It took me 2 years to walk normal again. My leg never was the same. My lymph system in my leg is shot from all the surgeries. I have to wear a compression sock for the rest of my life to keep my leg from swelling. If I get even the smallest scratch on that leg, it can break out into a huge infection. So I always have a supply of meds in case it gets infected. I've had 6 surgeries on that leg. I have been to a couple surgeons about getting my fasciotomies fixed, but either they have no interest or just won't do it. They say, your fine. Just wear compression socks. I'd kind like to have my leg look better and not like a shark bit me.
    I was able to play soccer again, but then partially tore the same ACL, and meniscus when I was training some players. Had another surgery to clean it up and was told. No more playing sports or else I'd have to have a total knee replacement in my early 40's.
    I can relate to Mr. Miller.

    I had a gruesome football injury that almost led to my leg getting amputated. My injury was similar to Marcus Lattimore. I tore all ligaments (acl, mcl, lcl, pcl, both meniscus) and the popliteal artery. First surgery was 19 and half hours to repair the artery and now I have a bad foot drop and nerve damage. I also have a chuck a meat missing out the side of my leg because of tissues dying and the tissue eating it’s self. Similar to what Alex smith had(I just forgot the name). I can’t lift my left foot up and I can’t bend my left toe. So kneeing down hurts really bad. I’ve had over 8 or 9 surgery in total to repair my leg. People always ask how it happen, I usually say put a pencil in jello and snap the pencil or train tracks breaking apart completely. I could twist my leg and basically fold my leg the the complete opposite way. Terrible injury and my football career was over. Freak accident. Love your videos though!!
