Do You Know?! Doctor Explains BO JACKSON INJURY

You don't know!! Or maybe you do, but let me break it down in more simple terms and actually help you learn what happened to possible the greatest athlete of all time, Bo Jackson.
In this video we'll review the injury footage to explain how his hip was injured, discuss some basic anatomy, and then talk about this idea of avascular necrosis and how it happens.
Thanks for watching!!

"he doesn't look to seriously injured" *never seen in an NFL uniform again* that's why it's extremely sad to me

[@spjr99]

some injuries don't look bad but man they are unlucky. If there is one piece of evidence for God not existing it's that his greatest athlete was struck down by a one in a million incurable injury.

[@folo_x3434]

@@spjr99 That wasn’t gods fault

[@Hideotic]

@@spjr99 God has deeper wisdom than allowing someone to keep playing when he’s the one who created them to be that successful in the first place. You don’t know what else could have happened if he kept playing.

Kinda like Dale Earnhardts crash it looked like something everyone in nascar just gets out and walks away from but it wasn’t

[@JoseContreras-fy7lb]

I watched Bo Jackson play from his days in Auburn to the NFL with the Raiders. Even though I was a "San Diego" Charger fan at the time I couldn't help but marvel at his combination of speed and power. Incredible athlete, too bad his playing days were cut short from a rare football injury.

I didn't realize how intricate the hip was until I had surgery to repair an acetabulum impingement. From something that seemed basic ended up taking me a full year to fully recover.

[@Mimi-jn3fi]

Great explanation. I had avascular necrosis of my left hip and had it replaced successfully 4 years ago. Mine took 3 or 4 years to develop after a fall.

[@SR-gg3mm]

You should do Peyton Manning's neck injury

[@areksoo]

Yes please do and also his recovery. After his neck surgery, he could barely throw the ball 10 yards. Then a year later is breaking records all over the place. Then regressed badly to the point where he was the worst starting QB in the league. There were reports that HGH was shipped to his house, but he claimed that they were for his wife and he didn't touch them. I'm not making any accusations he took any, but what are the effects of HGH? Would it even even help? Anyways it's a curious case of fast recovery and fast collapse. BTW, love your channel. It's a whole new dimension of insight into sports!

[@futurequagmire6199]

That would be a great one , one of the most serious injuries for someone to come back from and for him to play like he did when he got back was insane

[@bobstewart8032]

I thought they said that Bo Jackson actually had an undiagnosed hip defect which caused the injury to become worse. I remember watching this when it first happened and thought that his left leg was in a very awkward position when he was being tackled. I know you pointed that out.

[@FosterScott]

Avascular necrosis, so that's what happened to Bo. Very educational. Thank you.

[@davidalexander8996]

A more inspiring avascular necrosis situation that actually had a happier ending involved former 49ers running back Garrison Hearst. After the injury, to his ankle, it took two years and special transplant surgery for Hearst to defy the odds and bring the 49ers back to playoff caliber status. I don't know if a similar procedure could have saved Bo's hip and career but it's certainly worth a mention here.

[@denisesalles7248]

I watched this game in 1991 and knew it was a very serious injury the minute it happened. Just something about the pull on the right leg relative to where his left leg planted.

[@SwiperNoSwiping458]

Hey Brian. Can you do D-wade vs Westbrook (or someone else) about meniscus removal vs repair. I don't really understand what factors go into that decision.

[@BrianSuttererMD]

Good question...surgeons used to cut the meniscus out back in the day but now they try to repair it. If a little bit is just frayed up, they will sometimes shave it down to smooth it out and remove the rough areas. But if it's a big chunk gone they might try to "reattach it" so to speak. If you remove too much you are prone to early arthritis

He’s a very rare athlete where you are just fortunate to have seen stampede over or fly by someone like a downhill freight train. Earl Campbell, Deion Sanders, Barry Sanders, even Mike Vick. But Bo might be the very best athlete I ever saw that wore both uniforms. Was very sad his football career ended with that play. And a class act, just like Shaq. You have to luv the guy
