Shouzer

AAAAAAHHHHHH
AAAAAHHHHH

That was so disgusting, but I just had to keep watching it. I watched it like 10 times.

Ouch, I can’t believe that. How would that happen?

I’m in shock.

It’s embedded now, so you can watch it AND stay on shouzer’s main page. yippee.

Let us hope such a fate does not lie in store for the greatest uiuc intramural basketball team. *knocks on wood*

Scott– he landed wrong, obviously…and laterally and externally rotated his left leg. No ortho expert here, but it’s prolly due to a combination of repetitive overuse/stress (he’s an athlete, afterall).

My anatomy is a bit old, but here’s what I remember. There are four main ligaments that stabilize the knee joint itself. The medial collateral ligament (MCL) and lateral collateral ligament (LCL) serve to stabilize the knee from each side.

In the front of the knee is your Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). This is very important and keeps your tibia anchored to the femur and prevents the tibia from sliding and rotating forward during activity. Behind the ACL is i the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL). The PCL prevents the tibia from sliding back.

Bad sports injuries like that can result in complete dislocation of the knee joint (i.e. your tibia separates from the femur). This can result in tears to all of the four ligaments I mentioned above. This type of injury also has the potential to damage nerves to the leg and possibly tear one of the main arteries behind the knee, which results in bleeding inside and swelling. He will, of course, require surgery and physical therapy to recover. I think he’s looking at about a 6-8 month recovery overall, but that’s just an estimate.

Dang Nick. You would not believe how close what you wrote is to the actual press release that I read. And as you stated, he’s done for the season.

fuck you, you think i’m stupid enough to watch that? i still remember when you tried to get me to watch the video of allan ray’s eye popping out of his head. bastard.

The media relations folks consulted with me before releasing their statement…..LOL. You could find all that out from any textbook, I know…that’s where I learned all about it when I took the class.
