Doctor Explains Tua Tagovailoa Hip Dislocation Injury and Compares to Bo Jackson

[@BrianSuttererMD]

This might be the most painful thing that can happen to someone on the field. The amount of force needed to break and dislocate a hip is huge

This now seems insensitive, and all I’m hoping is that he can recover from this and not have to live the rest of his life in chronic pain. That being said, there’s hope that he can get through this and still be able to play.

This entire situation makes me sick for Tua and his Family. All of them have worked so hard and have sacrificed so much to get Tua where he was.

My Heart goes out to everyone involved in this situation, especially to Number 13. I wish nothing but the best outcome!!! Thank you for the insightful information, Doc!

@ImNotMad ButUR Not disputing what your saying here but it certainly contradicts what the team surgeon is saying; full recovery is what they are saying. Also it is a bit over the top to talk about getting back to normal life and walking on his own. Worst case scenario where football is out I don't think walking is going to be a problem. My 80 year old father in law is walking fine a month after hip replacement surgery. If it comes to that, his quality of life it won't be any different than 99.9% of the rest of us that don't play NFL football.

After my accident suffered while working a summer warehousing job that involved me being driven over and pinned under a forklift operator to the extent actually much less severe than Tua's, I was able to recover, although it is not the same injuries exactly of course, I never returned to sports and to this day I have a permanent limp when tired and need support managing the residual physical and psychological pains of such a significant and life changing injury. .

Thanks for the vid Dr .

[@zmacy]

Great video doc! I believe you can tie his existing ankle injury directly to the method of injury from this Saturday. High ankle sprains often involve a MOI of excessive dorsiflexion, one of the most common associated symptoms after a significant ankle injury is a loss of range of motion in the talocrural joint...combine that with bracing of the ankle for the game and his biomechanics have to change to compensate. Research in stroke patients shows a loss of ankle dorsiflexion is compensated for by increased hip flexion. In the video of his injury you provided you can see him avoid dorsiflexion during his stance phase (he is still injured) of the right foot and the leg "giving way", excessive hip flexion compensation leads to his knee being caught under his body. I believe this was a freak accident, but his pre-existing injury had some influence.
