I have what the doctors call a tibial tuberosity avulsion. Essentially my tibial tuberosity (the tendon running from your knee cap to your shin bone) was stronger then my tibia and it tore yes tore a chunk of bone from the tibia. This happened during a district soccer match where i was carried off the field and sent to the ER. I am now facing a minimal 2 month recovery plus therapy. If i bend my knee to much or do anything to make it worse I will be in a hard cast with a possibility of surgery. Making it more like a 6 month recovery. Currently im in an immobilizing soft cast and crutches. I havent left the couch for 3 days now. :cry But percoset and motrin are my best friends. So for any athletes out there don't do this it sucks. :aok

sucks man, sorry to hear that.
watch the two parts of this documentary and see if the idea of micro fracturing and rebuilding for strength appeals to you.

The thing is though that this will probably never happen again because it occurs only at young ages (mainly 14-16). Thats because the bone isnt at its full strength. If this was to happen again the tendon would snap instead of the bone giving.

I have a certain condition with my knees from playing football so much. Forget the name, some long german one. osh-gar-slaughter is kinda what its pronounce. Basically the inside of my knee swells up at times. Making it hard to keep my leg straight. And it tends to give sharp pains at times.
Does come with a benefit tho, Whenever the weather is going to get bad my knee tends to start giving me an annoying pain sensation. Pretty much my knee is a built-in weather predictor :D
-
just be happy that you werent like my friend in 5th grade when he tripped and his braces snapped and totally screwed up his mouth. broken jaw, shattered teeth, lacerated gums that needed to be stitched back togethor and then had to get a few of the braces out of his lip, and yes they went through the lip.
my god was that a mess.

Yeah went I went to see the surgeon they asked if I had that because if I did it would mean definite surgery to fix the problem. Even now though if it doesnt start healing itself I will need a cast and if that doesnt work then I get 2 little screws put in my knee. :uhoh
One good thing out of this is that I know my growth plates are wide open. The doc predicted I'll hit 6'2".

How that pertains to my knee I cant figure out. :headscratch:

What do you call soccer though? Rec league? Middle School? Pickup Games? ( just out of curiosity)

that stuff never counts..
all the jocks think that practicing with a foam football in a 20x50 courtyard at lunch will get them into the major leagues. theres only been 2 people at this highschool in all of the time on earth that have ever gotten into the NFL/NBA/MLB ect...

well im talking about my school here, OWHS is one sad little school for sports. we were the first football team to ever lose every single game this season.

im sorry, let me refrase, do you play any PROFESSIONAL sports, for say your school? or do you just go out slide down a hill on a board then call yourself an athlete?
-
I don't think anyone on this board plays PROFESSIONAL sports.

:rofl
do you even know how to put a snowboard on? do you know the different levels of a snowboarding hill? do you even know what the W-### stands for on the bottom of the board? (this is only on some boards, not all of them have it) and i dont play any professional sports, neither do you, but i used to play baseball in 6th-8th grade but i quit on that because it just got boring.
also, have you ever pedaled a 20 pound dirtbike up a 70 foot hill through mud/snow/grass just to get to a 2 foot drop on the other side? i bet not. you didnt even see the part where i said i do both forms of dirtbiking.

oh god, here we go :bolt:

no to the snowboard, Only place close enough to do such a thing is in another state. I could most likely do it tho. done harder things in my life.
dirtbike part, yes. not much, but yes. I BMX. Tho, BMX'ing is just a hobby. i dont call myself an athlete in the BMX field because i dont officially do it. I just do it for fun.
You played baseball for your school? well, that would of qualified you for the term athlete i guess back in 6th-8th grade.
I played baseball from peewee up to 6th grade. Took a ball to the left eye. After that i just couldn't play it anymore. Still have problems with my eye from it.
Played football from pee-wee to my senior year. dam good at it too. Caused a couple injuries. Sustained a few myself. i miss it. one of the best on the team.
Playing football for the school, on an actual team, against an actual other team. would make me an athlete.
Doing a sport in your spare time alone, would not.
Answer me this, if i had never played football before, and i got together with some friends, and played street football one day, would that make me an athlete?
-

nope. until you get a true understanding of the game, and play it more than once and get the general concept of it, you could consider yourself an athlete.
however, there are major league tournaments for snowboarding/dirtbiking at the X-Games. that stuff is pretty professional if you ever watch it, not to mention they have snowboarding at the world olympics.
BTW you live in ohio right? im pretty sure theres at least one ski resort there that allows snowboarding of some sort, depending on the snow being fake or not. and trust me, snowboarding isnt as easy as you think it is...slapping on a board then going down a hill is not the way its done. if you do that your more than likely going to plop on your face as soon as you shove off the edge.

Can you guys like settle this somewhere else?
Maybe ask Skuzzy for a private forum?
Please?
Frankly you two bickering in every thread gets a tid bit annoying.
-
Maybe skorpion and tyranniss should start dating already, you guys are really flirting hard with each other....
Seanaldinho- I hate knees, annoying things :lol

Hmmm. I had that happen when I was 42 I think...except it was a tendon in my thumb tore a chunk of bone loose.

sorry. tyrannis always has a stick up his happy hole, and needs to bite my ankles (and pretty much everyone elses) just so he can either ruin a thread or be a nusicance.
anyways, ill stop posting here so tyrannis can get his fill in and leave...such a big ego for such a small guy.

Hate to break it to you Skorpion but it takes two to tango and you dont help the situation at all by antagonizing the situation.
So lets put our big boy pants on and settle this.

Then you still have two more then most. It is enormously unlikely you. Or your kid will ever reach the pro level. Only slightly less unlikely is that you will ever know anyone that will go on to the pro level.

I play with a kid now that had scouts looking at him his freshman year, he started on varsity over a senior. Everyone on the team knows hes going places. IF he gets a full ride because unfortunately his family cant afford college.
Some schools though are known for putting out quality players. Around here there is a Catholic school that has put 4-5 into the NFL in the past few years. They have also put out 3-4 players into the MLB.
Emmitt Smith came out of a rival high school literally 15 blocks down the road as well.
