Kevin Ware update: successful two-hour surgery. Bone re-set, injury closed and rod inserted in right tibia.
Ware will remain in Indianapolis until at least Tuesday.

He's a young man, hopefully he recovers and at least can continue to play, but.....I'm sure we all wish him the best.

Yes it was a raised floor, I hate those. But don't know if that was a factor on the injury.

I don't know much about basketball but I am curious what do you guys mean by 'raised floor' that caused this incident? Did you mean the floor gradually sloped upwards at the edge of the court or was it a discrete level up like a step on stairs causing the force of landing to be angular thus causing the fracture rather than evenly distributed downwards to the foot?

Runnin' Rebel · 1 April 2013, 06:22 PM

Here's an example of a raised floor. Usually it's used to increase seating capacity. It would be used because they facilities are normally needed for hockey or other sports where there is more of a slope downwards and for better sight lines.

It's usually about 1 meter or less higher then where the bench is for the players or coaches. Personally, running down a lose ball knowing I could step down in a black hole would slow me down.

I don't think the raised floor created this incident, he just seemed to land horribly wrong on his right leg. Below is a link to the benches reaction to the incident...Link 1). It doesn't show the injury happening. This is a GIF.

That was so brutal to watch. Ranks up there as one of the worst sports injuries seen on TV. I am glad to hear surgery was successful and the kid is on the mend.

East Bay Rider · 1 April 2013, 08:28 PM

Brutal. That looks like a career ender to me.

Reminds me of the Joe Theisman injury.

Certainly dramatic and horrible to see but nowhere near the worst sports injury ever.

I hope it looks worse than it is and I wish him a speedy recovery.

Yes, thanks for the link.

I have to agree with Grumpy Badger, terrible injury but definitely not the worst ever.

(As a complete aside, some of those comments on that YouTube link though not surprising (unfortunately) have me shaking my head with disgust. Rant over).

Boy that was worse than I thought. Someone sent me close up pics...I would prefer not to see them again.

Rodentman · 2 April 2013, 12:05 AM

It is certainly a shame! I note that Cindy Crosby got his jaw broken by a flying puck. Teeth were flying too. He'll be out "indefinitely." They should have some better facial coverage on their helmets.

Watchdog · 2 April 2013, 01:00 AM

Up close it was unwatchable.

Very glad to hear the surgery was successful.

Time does things. I watched the Theismann and the LT video years ago without flinching. Now, at 50 and still playing recreational basketball, and hearing that this was non-contact, I think I'll pass.

Brunotheboxer · 2 April 2013, 02:17 AM

If you've any doubts. Don't open it, ignore it.

Was bone sticking out on the Joe Theisman injury? This is the worst I have seen with the bone literally sticking out.

Yes, Theisman's leg was wide open.

As bad an injury as that is (and I can surely sympathize as I have been rehabbing a TKR for the last five weeks) I would bet guys like Adam Taliaferro would argue that spinal injuries are far worse.

Sam Philip · 2 April 2013, 05:35 AM

Doctors treating him had said surgery was successful and he should be able to play again!

I was so relieved (and shocked!) to hear he could return next year. Amazing!

Runnin' Rebel · 2 April 2013, 07:30 AM

Doctors seem a little to optimistic at times. I was told I was 100% after my surgery, I just looked at him at said WUT !?!?!

Adam. · 2 April 2013, 07:54 AM

Good news.

NBC News reports the young kid was in crutches today walking. I'm praying he has a full recovery and there is a blessing in this injury.

nauticajoe · 2 April 2013, 07:59 AM

That is awful.
