Yup. Her foot was pointing in a direction it should not have been if the bones are properly aligned.

ESPN reporting initial diagnosis is a left ankle dislocation. I had one of those with a break as well. It is a nasty injury. I remember when they took the air cast off for xrays I looked at it for the first time. Wish I hadn't, but I did recognize the angle of Janee's foot was not right.
Poor kid. Hope she heals quickly and there is not a break of the ankle as well.

I was hoping it was merely a dislocation, which is excruciating nut not season ending; alas it is a break and season ending. Sorry to hear the news.

Her teammates and the SC kids seemed so shaken up. Horrible.

I watched the first half... lost interest... didn't see the second half... happy that I didn't... I wish I could do more than wish her a full and speedy recovery.

I was hoping it was merely a dislocation, which is excruciating nut not season ending; alas it is a break and season ending. Sorry to hear the news. Warning, if you are the queasy kind, stop reading now. When I was 19 I suffered a dislocated ankle along with a break in the ankle and a broken fibula in he same leg. My foot was at nearly a right angle to my leg - to the OUTSIDE of my leg instead of pointing forward. Nauseating to me to look at and remember. The break in the ankle was right where the the fibula connects to the foot/ankle so I had two pins put in that I still have today to keep my foot from flopping around like a fish out of water. Took a full 8 weeks in a cast after surgery, and I was still not fully recovered from that for another month or two. Now, I did not have a medical training staff to help me through rehab, but it was a painful injury and a long recovery. Ankle gives me problems and pain now and then and went to an orthopedic surgeon about maybe taking the pins out. He got a chuckle out of the pins...he had never seen "hardware" like that before, and I admit they look just like finishing nails. Surgery was in South Dakota, it might have just been whatever the surgeon had in his pickup. In any event, the ortho doc said the ankle pain is probably due to the loss of bone length in the fibula which had not been set during surgery to put in the pins, so there is uneven weight distribution. And...in order to remove the pins, they would probably have to chisel them out due to calcification. I decided the bit of pain I was having was not so bad after all. Hope she heals quickly and is back on the court none the worse for wear. |
