Freak accident broke my leg (lemmy.one)

My classmate during randori failed a drop osoto gari right as I landed from a hop and planting my foot hard. Somehow this caused my tibia/fibula to POP!

Everybody in the dojo thought I just landed really hard until they saw how wrong my leg looked.

Anyway, I'm recovering and will be filing an insurance claim with USJA.

Update: I'm healing quickly.

Do you think the extra titanium I have will be an advantage in shiai?

hard to say, it might depend on how your rehabilitation and recovery goes

Aw man that is messed up looking. Hope you get better soon.

It was so much worse before the EMTs straightened it to transport me.

Huh, we always called it "sweeping the leg," or "judo throw," but I was in MMA/ kickboxing. TIL. Hope you recover well.

I like that there's one particular throw that gets called the "judo throw".

I broke my tibia in a freak volleyball accident in Thailand last summer, it sucked really bad. Took about a year but now it feels like nothing ever happened, so hang in there.

Tip: avoid ibuprofen as it apparently slows the bone healing process

Sometimes our meat sacks just fail, I guess.

I had to look up the ibuprofen thing. It seems the issue is NSAIDs more broadly, which is a shame cuz this crap hurts.

Yeah my surgeon told me that when I broke my wrist a few years ago. I stuck with acetaminophen and aspirin as much as I could for this injury.
