Ouch. I wonder what failed. Did she lock her knees in or ?

Looked like the knee bent backwards, but also looked like the bone broke under the hinge join of the knee..

I can dislocate both of my knees and bend them backward, it hurts like mutherfocker for a week or so and I dont walk right for awhile.

At least she's out her growth stage, and at the end of her collegiate gymnastics career.  That's going to be a long painful road to recovery but she should be okay.

Not particularly graphic at all, certainly not compared to the plethora of compound tibia/fibula fractures available from other athletes.

I would be very curious to know what exactly failed. The dislocation is evident, but not extremely pronounced. The fractures I assume are spiral because they do not otherwise suggest any structural failure. The PCL might be hyperextended but I don't see any obvious cause.

Fascinating. She'll be fine when she recovers, though it might take 18 months.

Man, I THOUGHT I was prepared for that..... nope :(.... I hope she recovers enough to walk without pain!
I did something a bit less to my left leg playing hockey.... took 1.5 years to walk proper :( (still cannot lock it properly)

It made me cringe, but it wasn't anywhere as bad as Joe Theismann/Alex Smith/Gordon Hayward.

Still, that obviously hurt ALOT.  She's got several months of recovery and physical therapy ahead of her.

The video itself isn't bad. Babies. It's not natural for that to happen, for sure. I have dislocated my left patella 3 times. Worst pain ever. As long as she didn't sever any veins/loses blood flow, she should be 95%. After long and painful therapy. God bless her. I hope she's at least comfortable.

I'll bet her interest in the sport is effectively faded.

I used to do it in a former life, & still strength train using the same principles, but the tumbling is out.

One of my coaches was an elite level competitor who had a full scholarship ride at Berkeley in the 70's, & was on the path to the Olympics until he got injured himself & had to sit out of the trials.  He told me once a meet once, he was prepping a floor routine & looked for a moment over to watch a guy on the high bar take a nasty fall & then his whites turned all red.  Obviously, participation means risk.

The recovery will be no fun, but she'll get through it.

Looks like the same injury my brother had 20 years ago. He was using a push mower and standing at the top of a little hill to let the mowerroll down a couple feet and then he would pull it back up like a lat row. His feet slipped out from under him on the wet grass. Both kneecaps detached. He had both legs in casts to prevent bending the knees during recovery. It sucker but he recovered.

Didn't bother me to watch honestly.

Seeing accidents like that make me be sure to take calcium. I've been playing basketball since I was in 4th grade, never taken much calcium in my life until I saw that Paul George injury. Then I got on vitamin d, vitamin K2-mk7, magnesium, strontium every once in a while, and 1500mg a day of calcium.

Nah, I'm going to say its mineral density. You should see the tiny bones that deer have that support the kind of bouncing they do. Pretty small compared to people bones. Or look at bovine legs. Down by their ankles, they are similar to people size. Yet cows weigh 1200lbs and I've seen them run when they get excited. Has to be tremendous strength in those bones.

This. My girl ain’t doing any of those, or soccer either.

FFS people, odds are your kid probably isn’t going to be a sports pro or get that scholarship, and definitely not if they’re crippled before they’re outta high school.

Hope that chick recovers, and best wishes on her aerospace career. She should be glad the “Wide World of Sports” intro thing is gone, she could replace that ski jumper dude.

Specious logic. Many gymnasts do that kind of stuff all the time without problems. She probably lacked calcium, or one or more of the micronutrients needed for bone formation. Calcium alone doesn't activate osteoblasts (bone forming cells). It appears as though only strontium does this. Making bone takes many ingredients and the proper ratio of magnesium, vitamin D, k2 and others are needed.

Well will still don't know where the breaks were

And It was reported that she dis located her knees also

Dislocating a knee has more to do with not having enough rest than a calcium deficiency .
