Good thing it was his leg and not his knee right? I remember reading that leg injuries like that recover even though they look brutal. I don't think his career is over. _________________ A banana is killed every time a terrible thread or post is made. Save the bananas. Stop creating terrible posts!
Not sure if the injuries are the same, but Anderson Silva had that horrific leg injury and is expected to be back fighting this January. About a year after the injury.
I expect Paul to miss the 14-15 season. I just hope he can resume his career at a high level after that.

Bone versus ligament is the key distinction. As well as the type of fracture (open vs closed, spiral fracture vs comminuted, etc).
Absolutely horrific. He may never be the same. Just awful.
Co-sign. That's a Terrible injury. Just Terrible. Feel very bad for him.
On a related note, BSPN reports that he was taken to "The Hospital for Special Surgery" in Las Vegas. HSS is considered the best orthopedic hospital and is located in NYC. _________________ “It took many years of vomiting up all the filth I’d been taught about myself, and half-believed, before I was able to walk on the earth as though I had a right to be here.”

Horrific - the guy shattered his leg in two from what I could see. I hope it doesn't end his career
Actually, he shattered his leg into at least 4, given that he went through both the fibula and the tibia. But I'm willing to bet that the injury is comminuted, meaning that there will be multiple bony fragments. _________________ “It took many years of vomiting up all the filth I’d been taught about myself, and half-believed, before I was able to walk on the earth as though I had a right to be here.”
