I was one of the EMTs on the crew staged next to the court. Our crew was a Paramedic, another AEMT and I. We work for Vanderbilt LifeFlight and have our own Event Medicine division. We continually train for the very rare occasion where we have to go out in the spotlight and preform our job. We were staged right next to the court and we’re watching and waiting for our signal from the athletic trainers to come on to the court. Our stretcher is ready with all the pertinent equipment, including the vacuum splint you noticed. I would love to talk more.
I read all that for nothing

I broke my femur at a football camp. It hurt. Folk like you came and helped me. For the rest of my life I’ll always remember that first person who arrived to me while I was in shock. 2-3rd not so much, but the first person sticks with you
Thanks for the great care you provided! I broke my arm last summer and man it was such a huge relief when I got to the hospital and I was in the care of those great professionals.
Broke my leg in a similar manner a few years ago. Fortunately it did not break the skin, though the mental trauma as briefly mentioned was easily the most difficult part of recovery. I'd always found it crazy how such a dramatic break could occur from such a relatively benign action, and this video was the first time I had ever considered the rotational forces at play -- my doctors were great don't get me wrong, but their focus was rightfully on treatment rather than explanation. I've long since gotten over the mental challenges of being able to push off that leg when running again, but I've never really gotten a clear explanation for how the injury occurred in the first place. Thank you for giving me one.
I see the argument for not glorifying an injury by showing it. But in an educational setting, it’s hard to illustrate what you’re talking about by not showing it. If it’s a monetization thing than that’s another story.
It’s both. Would get demonetized and then that makes views plummet. So in this case showing the break doesn’t add to the explanation and so I chose not to

As a gator fan, this hurt... Speedy recovery Micah 🙏
Fr
As a San Jose Sharks fan, this hurt… Speedy recovery
As an Auburn fan, this hurt too.
Hell, I had trouble over coming the mental trauma of Kevin Ware's injury.
Saw that one live too. Yikes
that was just gruesome.
Honestly I think that one was worse to watch this still disgusting tho
@@quintinfink12 worse injury ever the bone was fucking sticking out
Extra soft. It's not about you
florida fan i was hoping you’d make a video about this. i’m so sad. it hurts to watch a player have to leave a game only minutes into one of the biggest games he’s ever played in if not the biggest
Praying for a speedy recovery ❤
Thank you Dr. That was very well explained. My search was to see how the injury happened. I pictured an opposing player crashing into his leg. Your video is the 1st video I clicked on and after your video I did not feel the need to look for any more videos. 🎹 👍
Seeing this live truly made my stomach churn, the sound was sickening, wishing him a speedy recovery 🙏🏻
Thanks for the video. I was once in a caving accident where a guy had compound fractures of both forearms. The thought still makes me queasy.
This kinda thing hits me really hard. When pros get hurt it’s tragic and terrible but they’re usually rich they have money fame success for the most part. When a young kid or a college student athlete gets injured it’s extra sad because they don’t have that security that stability so the effect can be so much worse; their career can be over and their life altered in a major way. Hope he’s ok and can get back to doing great things on and off the court really soon.
Dude, people break their legs and shit like that every day
i would hope that D1 athletes are able to sign up for some kind of insurance to at least cover school costs
If you're going to go in that direction you might as well add in people who work in construction who get way worse injuries with no insurance in most cases. Just saying
And college players only have 4 years (except for certain situations) whereas if your a pro you can get hurt and still have like 8 years left
This is precisely why the NIL is a great thing and all the clowns complaining about it can eat sand
6:50 ok doc hit that pepper grinder
Thoughts and a speedy recovery to this young man. 💪🏽
I'll never forget when Texas A&M played at Washington in 2009, an A&M player broke his leg in the exact same way. The audible "crack" echoed throughout the arena. It was terrible.
Man God bless him. Auburn guy here and man I was screaming at my tv stop the game!!! Wishing Micah a speedy healthy recovery
I hated to see this happen to one of our guys…I honestly think this affected our play today and shook our team up especially since it happened so early in the game…prayers out to Micah and his parents as well…thanks for the vid and explanation..Let’s get em Gators in the tournament!!!
Great video, Dr Sutterer! I’m pretty sure that for those who really want to see it, there's a ton of other videos that show the actual excruciating break- really hoping at least one was mic'd up on that play to capture the nauseating sound as well to satisfy the need of those who couldn't live without that added dimension.
Kudos to the on-court responders. I immediately recalled Louisville’s Kevin Ware.
What I really like about your videos is hearing how long recovery might take for the injury that was sustained. Seeing the actual injury sometimes isn't necessary especially when it could be hard to watch, so thank you for not showing it in this case.
As a Marshall guy, it really sucks to see Micah get injured like that. He was a son of Marshall before he was a Gator. Get well soon, Micah. The Herd misses you. Go Herd!!
If you just crack the tibia (like I did), it will really hurt for a few weeks, but the body does a great job of mending itself if you stay off it. A fractured tibia, much less a compound fracture, is more of where Brian comes in.
Very illustrative video as always doc. Btw, a few hours ago a football (soccer) player called Javier Altamirano suffered a worrying convulsive episode in a football match in Argentina. Any chance to make a video about him? Thanks!
Great video, I was wondering if you would do the Spyros Chakas injury for Hawaii Mens VB that he sustained on the 15th
Praying for a speedy recovery for Micah.
I think describing it in detail, makes me more squeemish than just seeing the video 😂 Good work doc
Amazing, so informative!
Being a college basketball fan, I also remember the Kevin Ware injury. If i remember correctly, people were theorizing that he had a undiagnosed stress fracture from playing so much. Both injuries happened later in the year, is there any possibility that Micah may have had some sort of stress fracture or other pre-existing injury? The gators were playing something like their fourth or fifth game in a week. And then to follow that up, is there anything (short of reducing playing time/number of games) that a team can do to minimize these types of injuries? Cautionary X-rays? Pre-hab exercises? Great video, thanks!
Thank you for the explanation I'm praying he recovers 100%. Someone here proposed that playing consecutive games in this tournament setting might have contributed extra stress and I thought maybe but these kids practice everyday and are in great shape. I don't think that contributed. I feel so badly for Micah and his family, he seems like a great kid and teammate. Get well soon buddy we're all behind you!!
Thanks Brian.. Class act for real
Thank You for your analysis.
It's crazy that, infections notwithstanding, an injury like this can have a quicker and easier recovery than an ACL tear, which sometimes doesn't look like much of anything, and even doesn't really hurt sometimes.
Bones heal faster. Ligaments and tendons take much more care.
That one was up there with the ware, pg and hayward snaps this sht is so gruesome and so sudden im scared all over again
It's awesome you're here doing this KZhead thing. There must be something inside you telling you that you are a doctor and you should be more busy being a healer Dr.
There was no need to show it, you explained the injury & care as you always do. Thanks for having some decency.
The Victorian Age called! They miss you!
@edkiely2712 what do you gain by seeing it? Your need for gore should worry people more than what you refer to as "Victorian". I could pull you up 50 compound fracture videos right now; we don't need to see another one. And why would you want this person to lose monetization, anyway?
@janwilliams3841 Jan, do you measure your IQ in fractions my friend? Where, in any of my comments, have I discussed the desire of excessively "indulging" or "engorging" myself in replays of this specific incident or any other "similar type" incidents? If you took the time to read my initial comment, I addressed not being macabre or lurid about it. Reading comprehension can be very helpful when it's employed my friend! The problem with having an interaction or "conversation" with complacent and presumptuous minds like yourself is, you are completely utilizing conjecture and speculation on how I think about this topic. No questions asked, or clarifications inquired about, just assumptions made. Most comment sections are permeated by juvenile and uneducated minds, who have very little, to no argumentative skills and techniques and, who are only looking for a "gotcha" comment moment or, turning a discussion into a "pissing contest" because this Matrix we live under, has turned them into a mob of unnecessary emotional duplicates with no thinking skills.
@janwilliams3841 Obvious psychologically shallow and presumptuous reply! Nobody said anything about overindulgence or being lurid, other than yourself. You don't even understand the preliminary parameters to the discussion so, I'll let you engage with the other like-minded duplicates!
Praying for him ❤🙏
We are praying for homie. Florida is a good team that can be great. WDE🦅
Doctor Brain you are so good ❤
He's going to be fine. Modern medicine is amazing 👏
I really appreciate you explaining this while not showing the injury.
Totally understand you not showing it…I myself kept pre-cringing getting myself ready for the break. But if it was that bad, probably the right move
I don't do well with leg breaks. I remember watching Nurkic breaking his and it took 24 hours for me to get back to normal LMAO. Ugh, I feel so bad for people who go through this.
Can confirm that the broadcast did not show a replay of his injury, which reportedly was gruesome.
I would love for you to talk about how to prevent all kind of injuries from happening. As you said the tibia is not suited for rotational forces so im gonna be very cautious next time im landing to not be twisting as much in the air. Like when rolling an ankle most of us that play casually will try to support the ankle or even go to the ground just to protect that ankle. So would be nice to know how to prevent the injuries by adjusting when falling so we can minimize serious damage. Much love.
Prayers to the player, reminds me of the ware play
Time wise how long do you think it will take to fully recover?
Great analysis. I certainly did not need to see any more than you showed. Hopefully he can recover.
I already had my eyes closed so I could just see the bare minimum of movement, no way can I watch broken bones, they give me nightmares , I can handle gore , but for some reason seeing a broken bone happen gives me that weird feeling in my stomach
I broke both a few years ago but thankfully it wasn’t an open fracture. My fix was a plate and screws and fix the ligament damage that happened as well
Hi doc, can you do a video on the Demba Ba leg break from a few years ago? His leg was literally snapped
He could do the David Busst injury from the 90s when he played for Coventry City , that was horrific ,I think his leg snapped in two different places his ankle and further up the tibia and fibia , poor guy had to retire.
Watched the replay and you could hear it snap.
Just went elsewhere to see it, that was a mistake. Hope he recovers
Not a mistake, it's important to understand what happened and the correlating info from this video
If you ever get a chance, go look at Pharaoh Brown's injury from 2015. He played football at the University of Oregon. He was injured against Utah in a non contact injury. It was pretty bad.
When i was in the Army,we were doing mounting/dismounting drills on vehicles. Maintain 3 points of contact when getting on and getting off. Meaning, Don't jump off the back of the humvee.....some guy decided to jump off,he landed and all i heard was snap...then him screaming. Compound fractured his lower left leg. Bones sticking out. It was wild! I'll never forget that sound. 😂
2:03 that's exactly what i did!!!😂
Could his trainers (sneakers) be a cause, I noticed just before he jumped his right foot planting was odd because of the way his foot was planted in his shoe , like the shoe was flat but his leg was leaning inwards. Feels like when he landed he shoe planted but the rest of him shifted , so his shoe acted as an anchor but his body was still moving. His sneakers looked like they weren't a good fit. It's like when you run , if you go to a specialist sneaker shop they take a video of how your feet plant down and they pick the right sneakers , some people are flat footed or go more down on the instep etc.. and if you don't get the correct sneakers for your feet you can get injuries , I imagine if you jump and your sneakers are slightly too big and you land there is still room to shift your weight even though the shoe has planted
Hey Dr! Sports betting is a thing and now that players and professional leagues are promoting DraftKings and FanDuel etc, I was wondering (with your expertise) are fake injuries also noticeable? I ask because I’m an avid sports gambler but certain “injuries” are questionable. The player who gets hurt is over owned on platforms and magically “an end of the bench player” shows up in the optimal with minimal ownership. Love your channel and explanations on things. Especially on Andre Robinson patellar tendon rupture. That’s happen to me once in a pickup game and the other on ice.
Hey, I've got an intramedullary rod in my left tibia!
"torsion" "spiral" "open" c'mon man, yeeeeesh Thank you for not watching through the injury, it really helps keep viewers of the substantive part.
6:31 I do wonder if him being 7'1" might have contributed to this In my mind, I guess I'm thinking thinner bones 🤔
Thank you for not showing the part of the video where the break occurs I’m here to see what happened
Same thing happened to Kevin Ware.
How do you insert a rod inside the bone that goes the length of it? And does it harm the marrow that’s inside?
Parallel with not inside
They literally pound it in with a mallet. Depending on the fracture some are fairly short, and some quite long. It does not affect the production of bone marrow at all.
Will he recover enough to play again?
I have avoided "gruesome" injuries on this channel due to simply being a bit sqeamish. both not showing the clip and kind of censoring out the injury really makes me able to learn about this without the horrible imagery. It kind of tricks my brain into not becoming sqeamish, also gives you better exposure, so you can get more support. I see no downside since this is for the general public, not for a paid medical class.
That’s really nice to hear - sometimes I need to show the mechanism to feel like I can explain it well. In this case it added nothing so no sense to show it
@@BrianSuttererMDyou're the man doc!
@@porfiriato84agreed!
Well at least Shands is a great hospital, so hopefully he gets the best treatment possible.
is there a higher risk of a fat embolism with such a severe fracture of the femur?
I agree. This is educational, and yet you won't show the injury. I'll do as you suggested and go see all of my videos elsewhere
✌️✌️
Show us the damn video😢
Unlikely the EMS crew will do any kind of gross manipulation to align the bone. Will usually splint in place, wrap, and treat pain.
Kevin Huerter vid incoming...
unfortunate honestly
Ouch! New fear!!!
Let’s not forget about Paul George making a comeback as well
😢
Wait so if you didn't see the video yourself how did you make a diagnosis, or are you just reporting on what others have said from seeing it? I would really expect you to want to see it yourself, so you don't just hand out a bad view said by someone else. I would think you would except us to do the same then not just trust you blindly, instead with say with this isn't the place for that.
He never said he didn't see the video. HD said he wouldn't show it......which is due to respect for the player and his family. Tons on uploaded won't show the video.
He's a doctor, dude... where did you go to medical school? And how in the world have you not figured out by now thst lots of sources see the video but won't replay the part where an injury happens at the second? He never said he didn't watch the full video....he said he wouldn't show it. This is common behavior due to respect of the player and their family.
Brian, are you hiring anyone to work for your youtube channel? I have been struggling with the job search + could really use the job. I am a disabled person, who may need some accommodations if you are willing to hire me. Let me know. I really appreciate it.
Play the actual injury. Omg.
Thumbs down for not showing what actually happened. If you don't have the guts to deal with demonization, then don't make a video about an extreme injury. I learned nothing from this B.S video..
He didn’t have an issue showing Aaron Rodgers Achilles snap like a taut rubber-band….
Show the bone break!!! Jesus
I watched it live and you could hear the pop on the broadcast. My IMMEDIATE concern was "oh God, don't let this be another Alex Smith type injury." Praying for a speedy recovery, Micah. Go Gators. 🐊
Useless film?
Yo😭😭
Jesus loves you
Tell him walk it off.
I've never quite understood people being overwhelmed emotionally by seeing traumatic injuries! We live in such a soft, hypersensitive age now where, anything that MIGHT cause even minor discomfort, has to be censored or "blocked-out." I'm not saying we should indulge or be macabre about these things but, people are way too weak now!
What's the root word in there ... trauma. Most people just naturally have an aversion to things of the sort, probably a big reason why we don't have more surgeons, nurses, paramedics, etc.
This call empathy
@@russelllawrence7182 Empathy is a "feeling with!" So, weak and hypersensitive people feeling for each other!
@leeswift7883 But, the difference is, it's the trauma of the person getting injured, not MY trauma. It's treated as if the viewers themselves become vicarious participants in the injury with the victim himself!
@@edkiely2712 I don't know man, if anyone's hypersensitive it's you about how people respond to gruesome sights
Lack of bone density and muscle mass, he doesn't work out enough.
Guy talk too much
Fucking show it! What the hell am i looking at? Wheres the injury?
Should have shown the break. I haven't seen anything yet
right he shows everyone else injuries in slow motion lol
No need to. Doesn’t add anything and then vid gets blocked right away
Thank you for not showing the break. I love the medical explanations, but can't deal with the graphic injuries.
