You should react to Maxime Crepeau's leg injury during the LAFC and Philly MLS Cup game today. Clearly had a fracture of his tibia or ankle...People said it was a compound fracture...

[@nicksmithnola]

'Established Titles' is a recognized scam at this point, they have no authority to grant somebody the title of 'lord,' 'lady.' or 'laird.' The company's headquarters are actually in Hong Kong, and was funded by a venture capital firm called 'Fail Ventures,' that has funded other shady companies like 'Deal Dash', 'Trifecta Retail Ventures', 'Galton Voysey', and 'Kamikoto.' No one trying to buy this land in Scotland will actually own anything, and you'll be given a fake title that has no value. It doesn't work that way in Scotland.

I used to skateboard, learning 360 flips was rough because the edge of the board would SMACK your shin bone when completing the rotation if you didn't keep your back leg above the board. Had plenty of these dents, and still to this day I can feel them. My elbow skin hangs loose and doesn't "attach" anymore, so many times skinning them passed skin. He'll have that dent forever, and that pain is absolutely no joke. When it hits the same spot for the third time you break out in sweats and are ready to puke, motor control of that leg is dead, and these guys just eat them. Their toughness and training to their bones to take the abuse is next level.

[@kyle1luvv68]

I FEEL that brotha lmao tre flips will end ur shin 😂

[@imaXkillXya]

Yup getting shinners was right up there with getting nut sacked. But getting checked for a leg kick even with pads will hurt even worse mostly because of the force.

I had something similar on my shin as well when I accidentally banged my shin against a metal part of basketball backboard base in college. The swelling was shaped like a donut. It looked really weird but the athletic trainer basically said the same thing. Thanks Doc!

[@mason.11]

Not MMA, but college basketball, I still remember seeing a visible dent on the side of Maryland forward Darryl Morsell’s head. The injury happened after an inadvertent elbow to that area, and I believe they said it was a facial fracture. What differs though, is that this injury was obviously not after a buildup of repeated trauma, like it was with Dahiya. In that case, would that have been a focal dent in the bone (like you reference when discussing spongy bone at the end of the video)?

[@tjmanning]

I don’t do mma but when I injure myself skateboarding these videos are pretty informative. Thanks doc!

[@primexaos]

[@qhimicoasesino2989]

Thanks for the info. I have a himatoma on right upper shin above my ankle and any time I get kicked there it automatically swells even if it is a minor hit.

[@AarontheGreat89]

I’ve have a dent like this in my biceps when I played football. There was no pain it was strange. A couple other guys on the team had the same thing. I concluded that it was from the Jersey pulling against the arm

[@SRQBID]

"Dent" in the bicep without pain??? Sounds like a partial bicep tear (seen this on a teammate in hockey). Ultimately he never needed surgery or lost much strength, just kinda lived with it from there.

[@trevorchabot864]

most likely just over exerted. They are called Charlie Horses. Got them in my forearms carrying furniture.

[@trevorchabot864]

""Charley horses tend to occur when muscles are in a shortened, contracted position, like a flexed bicep. Because the muscle is ‘bunched up,’ so to speak, it is less tense. This changes the way the muscle and the nervous system communicate with each other. It may cause the nerves to “talk too much,” telling the nerves to contract too hard."

[@SRQBID]

@@trevorchabot864 is correct if the "dent" was temporary. I neglected to seek clarification on that but if it was temporary that makes much more sense than any kind of partial tear which would show permanently altered appearance, sometimes even after surgical procedure.

[@trevorchabot864]

​@@SRQBID minor tears can be rehabilitated. Most people tear something at some point in their lives. Tore a tendon in my knee. Tore groin muscles too many times to remember. Muscles heal well, tendons are trickier. I'm not a doctor.

[@IceBergs]

Believe it or not, my dad before he passed away he was 450 pounds, his legs frequently looked like this in the same spot without any kicking. I'd imagine from the weight

[@Jackbennett01]

I have a similar sent but on the outside of my shin…and I’ve had it for over ten years now. What do you think it is?

[@corninyourpoop]

A shopping cart fell on me earlier this year, and I'm just realizing that there's a slight indentation where the metal hit me. It was very painful, and there is still slight bruising there even though it's been a few months. Is that even normal? I was so embarrassed and flustered I just went about my day and didn't realize how bad it was til a day after. Is there any way to remedy this? Luckily it's above my knee where the front of my thigh begins, so it isn't very noticable but now I'm getting anxious over it.

[@peterf.229]

I figured with zero knowledge of the anatomy of that area of the leg that it was an area of swelling that got squished by the other fighter’s ankle bone . I got a bruise like that from having a rock smash my leg in the same area but I lacked the dent, was just swelling . by the next day it had mostly gone away but my leg had all those fun colors it changes as it heals for a bit 😮

[@infinitemonkey917]

Was some of the damage to the anterior, medial gastroch ?

[@BrianSuttererMD]

I suspect it’s just hematoma beneath the skin and above the muscle

Those inside leg kicks are nasty. They are far more devastating than outside leg kicks to the thigh.

Check the leg kicks correctly as Conor McGregor learned the hard way lol.

[@F4n74.]

Once, I slipped leaving the shower and my leg hit the bottom edge of the drawer under the sink. I had a similar, although much smaller, dent. Some of the skin went bye bye, too. 😅 Put some ice on it to prevent/reduce the hematoma that would surelly come. It skipped the purple straight to light green/yellow-ish, the dent persisted for a few days. Crazy stuff, I didnt know that could happen at the time.

[@dyingdiscord]

Legit same thing happened to me when stepping out of the shower, but this time my upper shin right under the knee smacked in to the sink. Got a nasty dent against my shin now for two days, did your dent clear up? Or am I best to get it checked out?

[@F4n74.]

@@dyingdiscord Yes it did! Putting ice right away helps a lot in preventing it from getting bad in the 1st place and helps it to heal faster. Should go away eventually either way.

[@tonyhull9427]

What is that on his right bicep (4:45 in the video)? It looks like his vein is folded up like a snake.

[@chucklebutt4470]

it's called a varicose vein. Women are more likely to develop them but they're not super uncommon in men as well. It can be a sign of long term anabolic steroid use but it's not really a smoking gun in that regard.

[@bobpuslkr5025]

10 years ago I was walking on my bed, and fell off onto the flat part of the post. I have this exact injury, i still have the hematoma and the bruise... if those aren't the same thing LOL

[@VTPSTTU]

When I was a kid, my parents pushed me to play musical instruments. I ended up playing trombone for six years. Because of the way that one holds a trombone and because I spent many hours in practice, I have a permanent dent in the middle finger of my left hand. I haven't touched a trombone in over forty years. Once I got out of the house, I wasn't interested in playing the trombone any longer, but I still have that deformity in my finger. I wonder whether you are aware of any sports where the use of the equipment puts permanent deformities in the bones of the participants. I feel that I also have permanent dents behind my ears because I've worn glasses for my entire life. Off the top of my head, I can't think of any protective equipment in football, baseball, or basketball that would cause that kind of change. Wrestlers wear ear covers to keep from having permanent deformation of their ear cartilage. I think the issue would be more likely in sports where people have a hard piece of equipment pressed against some part of their body for long periods of time. I've done a little archery, and I don't remember anything pressing against a part of my body constantly. I'm trying to remember any other sports that might produce a similar result. Do any come to mind for you?

[@themonsterbaby]

Grappling permanently alters the ears.... that's why so many fighters and grapplers have cauliflower ear.

[@VTPSTTU]

@@themonsterbaby I thought that was a result of not wearing the ear protection. I thought that wearing the ear protection would prevent the cauliflower ear. I'm wondering about sports where the equipment itself causes the deformation. Are you saying that the ear protection adds to the cauliflower ear?

[@anthonycolvard239]

Very interesting. I don't think I've ever seen a pitting edema outside of working in a PT clinic inside an assisted living facility or a cardiac rehab facility... Definitely not in a young healthy athlete...
