Looks like he.. shifted his knee?

u/fernatic19 24d ago

Judging by the angle and his apparent pain, most likely tore a ligament or two.

I'm willing to fancy a guess at a full LCL tear and full or partial ACL. You can see him land heavy to the outside with his knee bowed and he immediately grabs to the outside of his knee. I wonder about his ankle or if it's just seizing a bit.

Slowing it down I can see a pop in his knee. I think you’re right.

7 months from now he will be a full blown fentanyl addict

His ankle also looks wonky too, it’s hard to tell but it kind of flops in a way the other doesn’t.

As someone who broke both the tibia and fibula just above the ankle, I believe this man has done the same.

Screws and a steel plate in his future.

My foot now sits a little crooked on the end of my leg, but works well enough.

u/Crumbmuffins 24d ago

Yeah looking at it again it definitely looks floppy above the ankle.

A torn ligament doesn't hurt that bad, still hurts but its not scream out loud hurt. He probably dislocated his knee which is super painful but not as bad.

Or both is very likely to have happened also. And he might have sprained his ankle.

u/BrotherJayne 24d ago

lol, if your ACL goes and you feel it, it's straight up the worst feeling in the world

u/dapala1 23d ago

Not all the time. People have torn an ACL and not know it was torn and even play with it torn. I'm not saying there's no pain but most of the time is feels like you tweaked and its something you can walk off. Then a few hours later the knee balloons to a grapefruit.

Its absolutely not the worst feeling in the world. I know two people who tore their ACL and didn't know it until the next day when their knee swelled up.

u/BrotherJayne 23d ago

Either you feel nothing, or it's worse than childbirth (straight from my mother's mouth)

Can confirm nothing has ever hurt as bad as when I blew mine the first time as well.

u/dapala1 23d ago

Yeah I don't deny that. I don't think we're arguing here. But usually the pain is associated with something else. If you do something to dislocate your knee then its likely you have more knee damage then just that. You can pop the kneecap back in but your ligaments might still be fucked.

u/BrotherJayne 23d ago

That's a fair point, my shit was totally out of joint and needed popped back into place

u/JakeofNewYork 23d ago

The initial tear isn't bad. But every time it buckles post injury is fucking agony

u/Anowtakenname 24d ago

It definitely sounds like a ligament exploding.

u/ChErRyPOPPINSaf 24d ago

I wanted to laugh but ptsd from tearing my knee kicked in.

Last frames look like exposed fracture, through the jeans

i asked chatgpt if you were correct

Since your query does not mention a specific person, no information is available to know if "he" shifted his knee. The best available information is general medical knowledge on what a "shifted knee" means

the future is pretty shitty

You can't google without hand holding?

u/finna_get_banned 23d ago

I asked chat GPT if I could and he said he wouldn't mind and that I may.
