Joint dislocations can be as simple as a finger popped back into place with some tapping to a career ending dislocation like Zach Miller's knee injury. There are certain aspects of joint dislocations that are similar regardless of the location, and in this video we'll review some more well known joint dislocations in NFL history and explain what happened.

I closed my eyes and just listened to this video, this is not for the faint of heart! 😣😣😣😣

[@darkvader2024]

Zack Miller's is the hardest to watch

[@12345.......]

I watched that game. It was gross, and ruled incomplete costing the bears a touchdown.

[@Revbone450]

Very similar injury to Raiders RB Napoleon McCallum back in the early 90s

[@topdawg182]

Fr, that shit makes my knee hurt every time I rewatch it.

[@fatalthought92]

Have you watched the Zach Miller video from The Players Tribune? Really inspirational stuff and not to mention shows the human side of it all

[@felixlara2945]

An important factor for Zach Miller's injury was the turf, had that been grass, his cleat would've slid and he would've landed on his ass, but the turf held on to his cleat keeping it from moving and putting the force on his joint

[@TheUpTownFan]

No doubt

[@Lauranyyfan]

Hi Brian... Excellent explanations, again. I know you know the bones, but at 9:07, it's the humerus, not the femur. Thanks for the great videos!!

[@BrianSuttererMD]

Oh shoot lol. Got too wrapped up

[@peterf.229]

Haha I noticed that too 😎 it’s ok , I still enjoyed the video , unlike some I’m fascinated by injuries

[@deemareedubois3137]

Excellent video. One of my daughters knees dislocate. She has exercised her legs muscles according to a pt schedule put together for her years ago but even with beautiful super toned legs sometimes one of her knees will pop out. She puts it back in place herself. Her orthopedist says that pain is extraordinary and most people couldn’t do that. She had surgery on one of her knees after a dislocation caused damage. Her Ortho said her knees hyper mobility was the most extreme he had ever seen. She just has this in her knees.

[@iitstre_4550]

How old is she? That can have a lot to do with it. But also, I had a lot of friends with similar knee “problems” if you want to say that. She’s definitely a trooper though. Super strong little lady you’ve got there.

[@1packatak]

Having sustained a severe tri-malleolar fracture with dislocation, and then a shoulder fracture-dislocation with a comminuted fracture of the humeral head (busted it in little pieces) along with a biceps tear, I can completely agree these injuries are terribly painful!!!!!! Thank goodness for wonderful surgeons who were able to fix me up.

[@LuigiGonzales]

I love this video! So informative and very well explained! I'm a first year medical student right now and I am hoping to become an orthopedic surgeon specializing in sports medicine! Watching your videos really help me picture the anatomy of how injuries work, which just fuels my interest in sports medicine! Thank you Dr. Sutterer!!!

[@barrymccockiner5321]

you’re gonna get rich.

[@imacomedian980]

@@barrymccockiner5321 Depends which country he lives in.... but most likely.

[@LuigiGonzales]

@@barrymccockiner5321 It'll be a while though because I still have 4 years of medical school and 6+ years of residency to go! Also the debt is going to be piling up during that time so I'm hoping my youtube channel can grow and help pay for some expenses!

[@LuigiGonzales]

@@imacomedian980 I'm in the United States! Orthopedic surgeons rank in the top 3 for highest paid medical specialties! I'm choosing to go down this path because of my interest in sports and surgery, not for the money but it's definitely really nice to know that I will be well reimbursed after all the years of training!

[@Netbanger280]

Good luck !!

[@jeffjackson9483]

Prayers for miller , that really sucks to see!! 🙏🏽

[@javierchirinos28]

Brian, as a sport doctor do you still get that visceral reaction when seeing an injury as gruesome as those?

[@mountainxxxdew]

Curious about this myself. I imagine doctors kind of get calloused to it after a while

[@purpsmoke4203]

I feel in his head hes like, "ooouuu that's the blah blah blah, he's definitely not walking for a few a months. I'd start this type of treatment right away " etc etc lmao

[@neverwasastar]

Great question (and I hope Dr. Sutterer answers)! I'm not a sports medicine practitioner of any kind, but I have Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, hypermobility type (hEDS), and dislocations and subluxations (partial dislocations) are common in hEDS. I am fortunately that I rarely have full dislocations, but I have subluxations multiple times a day. For example, my knees regularly hyper-extend (I have "sway-back knees"). Sports injuries, especially dislocations, always fascinate me. I rarely have a visceral reaction like "whoa," but some of them, like the knee dislocation for Zach Miller in the intro, definitely still make me react. I'm not sure if I'd say I'm grossed out, but I'm definitely awed and amazed (as well as upset for the person suffering said injury because if it looks bad to even me, then it's probably quite serious).

[@Richard__Cranium]

Was just about to ask this. I can't watch the Miller injury at all and Doc over here is just slowly rewinding it over and over lol. I guess there has to be some sort of desensitizing that happens over time.

[@PahEz]

@@neverwasastar my knee joint dislocates itself like once a year. It is extremely painful, way more painful than a broken bone. I usually gotta slowly try to straighten my leg and it will " pop " back in place. It will be sore for weeks after that. Apparently I'm the only one who have experienced that. Never heard or seen anybody else with this same problem. I also got multiple other joint problems but this is by far the worst.

[@corytrevor7313]

Pat mahomes is a beast cuz i just dislocated my knee two months ago and im still on crutches. Most painful experience of my life. This is actually the 7th time its happend 😬 anyways its crazy he was playing a game or two later.....freak....

[@neverwasastar]

The seventh time?! I'm so sorry. Was it sports-related? Are you regularly dislocating other joints as well?

[@badcornflakes6374]

Dude, just get a wheelchair

[@1packatak]

Remember Mahomes is a pro athlete in amazing shape. And has access to some of the best orthos in the country, as well as therapists and trainers. And you should not be dislocating like that-I’m betting there is an underlying issue

[@corytrevor7313]

yea the first 6 times happend in HS from football. I was a decent starting linebacker and everytime i would start getting it back to normal..I was rushed back into action. Coaches didnt care about me as a person, only a player. After the last one in highschool finally eneded up getting surgery for it (lateral release). Now im 31 and it just happened again, making it 8 times total now. I was working out doing kickboxing and went to throw a kick then bam! The kneecap was all the way on the other side of my knee. Put it back in place myself there on the spot. Felt bones slide against each other and everything. No other joints or anything just the kneecap patella. Once someone suffers this injury...the odds of it happening again is tenfold....Anyways not going to let it bring me down. Most people would probably quit...but fuck that! No im not a professional athlete..but working out and staying in shape is the only thing i have in life. Im Going to come back better than ever! #determined

[@jbobko9291]

Just dislocated my Patella a few days ago, no bruising (no internal bleeding) and no pain, likely MPFL rupture. Hoping for the best :)

[@ABeffyPie]

I loved this one!! So cool to see all the "behind-the-skin" on these injuries.

[@dariuspalmer2829]

Cool?

[@nate_storm]

@@dariuspalmer2829 cool

[@perfectpandemonium5380]

I’d just like to say I made it through the whole video. Great work!

[@remindarwasha4533]

You should always land with the balls of your foot to avoid knee injuries, but heel striking is an injury waiting to happen

[@lardlad12]

I have patella alta, which means my kneecaps sit too high and not in the groove they're supposed to sit in, causing many dislocations over the years. Sometimes they pop back in spontaneously, other times I've had to get someone to help reduce the dislocation (my sports physician taught me how to reduce it). One time I couldn't get it reduced and I had to have surgery. It's extremely painful but once the dislocation is reduced, the pain dissipates fairly quickly most of the time.

[@LucasAlmeida-dz5xh]

I actually had something similar (albeit far less severe) injury to Mahomes’ knee. I had patellar subluxation from landing strange on my foot. It went back into place on its own when I tried to move my leg and it was swollen and hard to bend for a few months but I have made a full recovery!

[@TheOnlyVipey]

Brian, I know it was 20 years ago and many other videos have been made about it, but I would love to hear your thoughts on Dale Sr.

[@railfanmaximstill7279]

1:39 everyone saw that and said "oh no"

[@quixgofar]

That 1st injury... OMG! Couldn't stop cringing in pain. 😬😬😬😖😖😖

[@aladeenescobar1075]

best enjoyed after hitting the bong

[@asskicker1346]

May need to update the worst injuries depending on Darrell Taylors possible SCI. Hopefully he is ok!

[@maskedcreator4525]

Omg, the Jersey in this video is by far your best!! Let's get Tropical Flint Michigan!!

[@payrysdoscs4903]

5:45 I dislocated my kneecap 13 months ago and the way my patella got back into position was I accidentally did so while the paramedics were cutting off the bottom parts of my sweatpants so they could look at the injury 🙃😅

[@CowboyRc743]

Dislocated both kneecaps, the last time in 1993. Now facing a pair of total knee replacements from arthritis.

[@Mfrar]

Should PCL be more impacted than acl since pcl helps prevent excessive backward movement of tibia against the femur?

[@willabr360]

I need more of this Doc keep it coming

[@tomcuthbert-sayers1451]

Brian Sutterer MD: joint dislocations Me: Samantha Cerio

[@kylegravel5298]

I just laughed through the discomfort I felt watching this

[@derekdavis614]

I truly love this Dr. I would feel comfortable talking to him about the color of my shit or discharge coming out of any orifice. You can tell he's a regular and decent person.

[@TwizzTasty]

The Navarro Bowman interception that was ruled incomplete after he snapped his damn leg in half still haunts me 🤧

[@redmustangredmustang]

The thing is you break or dislocate that thing you are going to need plates and screws to keep that bone in place. Damn I broke my arm near the elbow and got a couple of plates and screws and it took 3 months of healing and rehab before I could go back. You just don't mess with that.

[@ibrahima955]

Hey Doc please do more of these. God bless you

[@dennis_the_menacesoonerlif9645]

Freshman year football I was running down the field to catch a pass, and my cleat flew off my foot and I took a step and went straight down to the ground. When I got an MRI done they confirmed that it was an MCL tear. Then like 8 months later during baseball, I was sliding into second and my shoulder somehow dislocated. I also got an ankle sprain the next year (last year) during football. I have very bad luck when it come to injuries; I keep a first aid kit in my athletic bag just in case I need it.

[@KehY91]

Zack Miller's injury is unimaginable. Very shocking

[@JJ-qv7nj]

Please do Marcus Lattimore

[@AarontheGreat89]

This happened to my knee 5 times on to my 5th knee surgery

[@JOHNNYCHICAGO8]

I remember the bears one

[@swagger471]

I just dislocated my ankle yesterday 🙃

[@Goldproduz]

I may have fractured mine…

[@logeshwaran6903]

Can you tell about injury prevention programs

[@FosterScott]

That pinky dislocation is a bad one. Like an amputation inside the finger. Ouch!

[@yvngdon1652]

Hey Doc! Can you do a video on Benny Snell’s injury?

[@TheRogueGiraffe]

Everytime i see the notification i wonder who got hurt this time

[@marknarduzzi9373]

Great video

[@Wolverine-fd4qc]

I couldn’t make it 2min 🤣🤣🤣

My right thumb stick out 45 degrees. Dislocated, (twice) I played WR in college.

[@retiredchannel5153]

Straight painful

[@Carolina-Defense-Force]

Hey Doc, Hit us up with 1 on Dak Prescott’s new calf injury!!

[@michaelrabbitt276]

Can you do the JUJU shoulder injury please ?

[@tylermatousek3308]

Just learned while watching that I can handle most of anything in the Lower body but the elbows are impossible to watch

[@Keithmwalton]

What happened to dak tonight? He landed wrong. Just calf or Achilles? Compensation issues from prior injury or random?

[@joshh.2159]

I don't know I remember what happened to Ryan shazier and he's lucky he didn't have his legs amputated and he's lucky he can walk ever again these guys can play football after this injury nowadays

[@oghcuteanimationhq5121]

I’m glad it was my knee and nothing else

[@SMASHtheCAN7410]

I’m surprised he didn’t do a video on the crazy hit Darrell Taylor suffered. That hit could’ve easily paralyzed Darrell

[@Ryguy-lg2xz]

You gonna make a video on the Darrell Taylor injury

[@marthellulu1314]

PETROSYAN VS SUPERBON K.O PLEASE! Hit like boys!

[@zizodbest]

How long would it take for those injuries to completely heal?

[@TypeRyRy]

I was in discomfort watching Zach Miller's dislocation. 😰

[@zizodbest]

I recently got a knee injury similar to the first one but not as serious, I believe. How long do you think it would take until full recovery?

[@AdutSara]

my knee planted into the ground and i fell on the ground and it hurt but not so bad. It’s been 3 days and I’ve had no swelling and no severe pain. And I can walk more normally each day but i can’t run yet. I wasn’t thinking an acl tear so is it just a hyperextended knee?

[@Immix6]

I was so squimish watching these injuries

[@HandTigers21]

Zach Miller is the worst looking lower body injury in American sports history in my opinion

[@Riley.a_Music]

Raheem motstert had a bad one against the raiders in 2018

[@12345.......]

Hey doc. When all this spam is posted to your comment section and reported, do you receive notification, or is youtube supposed to deal with it?

Darrell Taylor for your next video please.

[@gd2234_]

Something something that guy who dislocated his hip and had it relocated onto an artery, ruining his career

[@peterf.229]

That happened to a guy on the Dbacks, if you watch you can see his hip dislocate before he reached first and him stumble on the next step

[@HJuan94JR]

Thumbnail had me thinking for a second it was justin fields leg along with dak’s

[@EvilDeathFx]

Mmm, makes me hungry

[@Lightbarer6]

Damn… never knew a knee could “dislocate” 💀

[@Daisy-fr3mf]

Me and mahomes are more similar than I thought 🤔

[@RomantikongGinoo]

aghh Zack Miller`s injury is oof

[@sedftnio]

I barely made it through this one. Joints aren’t supposed to do that!

[@BJtheMountaineerguy]

That first one was awful.. Guys leg about got ripped off

[@patsfan9894]

That thumbnail sure wasn’t pleasant to see when I opened up KZbin

[@eddard9442]

Looks career ending

[@MrTradisrad]

I broke my femur in three places...it came out...I saw it...it'd do that twice if it missed the artery again before taking that one once...eww

[@Yellow_Flannel]

… do I want to watch this video??? This hits me in a specific cringe.
