uh it's not a patella or lower leg bone y'all. His lower leg was completely disarticulated from his upper leg. This was ACL MCL in nature. Knee was completely lax as he finished rolling over. That doesn't happen with a fracture

Scoop, I agree with your assessment. You type a lot faster than me, btw. Just curious, were you concerned about vascular compromise and avascular necrosis of the femoral head in CJ Mosely's hip dislocation during the NC game?

I am wondering, after seeing that picture, if has a terrible triad.
Terrible Triad
I have heard that the terrible triad causes the knee to pop completely out of joint, often causing the muscles to contract and pull the lower leg up into the upper leg.

Vascular compromise is a lot more common in a hip dislocation and femur fractures than most other dislocations and fractures because of the femoral artery.

Just read that on another board that someone is saying dislocated knee with possible arterial damage.

Knee dislocation has a (relatively) high rate of vascular injury and would be the reason he was taken immediately to the hospital.

I think you must always be mindful of vascular compromise but it is not a chief concern due to the fact that we have so much collateral vascularization within the body. The only way to cause a major decrease in blood flow is to injur a major vessel and this would be very rare in an atheletic injury.
With his injury I was more worried that the neck of the femur may have been fractured which can result is vaxcular concerns.
Labral injury to the hip is usually not a problem because the aetabulum is so deep compared to the shoulder.

They shoud have been able to assess this in the locker room, if that report is correct, he was taken to surgery immediately. Hope USC had his future insured.

Usually, the unhappy triad occurs when there's an impact on the lateral aspect of the knee. The impact on Lattimore's knee looked to be more direct on the front of his knee, if I'm not mistaken...

I know many of you are waiting on an official diagnosis but unfortunately I don't have one to offer as of yet. Rumors are all over the map but those in the know aren't saying much.
I can tell you I spoke with a physician who saw the video and and looked at still pictures. His opinion was it was likely a broken tibia and fibula and probable dislocated knee.
He couldn't speculate on potential knee ligament damage but said the higher the break, the more likely ligament damage was to occur because of how those bones connect to the knee.
Another with ties to the medical community said he'd heard it was an injury similar to what Andre Goodman sustained early in his career. Let me reiterate this is NOT an official report. I'm only giving you what I have at this point.

Anyone remember Napoleon McCallum, the Oakland Raiders tailback? He had a severe knee injury with vascular compromise. Almost needed to have his leg amputated.
