hey everybody dr. Chris orthopedic surgeon and sports medicine physician and today I'm going to
react to the NFL injuries we do so here in Canada we're approaching the end of the football season
the CFL or like two weeks away from the grand Cup and in the United States here about two months
away from the Super Bowl but I thought it would be a great time to react to some of the injuries that
have gone on in the NFL this season and if you haven't done so yet be sure to check out doctor
reacts to World Cup soccer injuries with that being said let's get right to it even though I
love football even though football's been a major part of my life because of my schedule is so busy
and don't really have time to watch the NFL or all the NFL regularly so these videos are gonna
be a surprise I do want to see if they're obviously like I'm in Canada go redblacks
let's watch the videos okay so I'm gonna watch this first one here okay so the receiver defender
is running down field and as you decelerate his knee goes into hyperextension that's the plants
his foot let's just play this little horn here to see what's going on down boom there
we go he checks up try and not collide with the already down player okay so that's Grove Thomas
my Seahawks I would venture to guess that he's had probably a tibial plateau fracture plus or
minus a ligament injury of the knee and that right there is a season-ending injury he's gonna require
probably some surgery for that a long period of globalization followed by a rehabilitation
and it's gonna be a while before he gets back to playing football let's go on number two so let's
check it out so we have quarterbacks here for the Sam sister 49ers this is Jimmy garoppolo's
he is running towards the sideline when he plants his left leg his center of gravity is
inside his plant foot and behind his plan now with his knee in that valgus loaded position he
suffers what appears to be a ligament injury and I'm almost positive that this is an ACL
of the new and then he gets so I'll check that on Google afterwards to make sure but I'm almost
positive that's an ACL injury and I would say it's an ACL injury until proven otherwise her
the star quarterback for San Francisco carted into the locker room so let's move on to video number
three collectors play tell you that the Rams was the Seahawks all right we have a receiver
who has gone out on his route and he's looking to make a reception here the defensive back that
comes down and latest a real audience guy for sure this dude has a concussion at the very least you
can see afterwards he's just moving his hands so the likelihood of spinal injury is much less but
at the very least as I said before this guy has a concussion and this is a big thing analogies with
football because we know that contact sports are associated with a higher incidence of concussion
it has been shown that many players in the NFL go on to have problems with CTE chronic traumatic
encephalopathy which is basically a repetitive contact injury to the brain and hit people on the
head gets routed a lot you're gonna have problems down the road it really is important that we try
to teach players to tackle without hitting the head or without contacting heads together I
don't know what the specifics about this there may have been some penalties or some fines for
the offender afterwards number four tears versus the Broncos some of you have to watch afterwards
because obviously he's a teen I'm not sure he's grabbing his ankle it was watched him play oh
okay so here we have the tight end running up the attacks and as he does that I mean picks up
twice as infants in fact the moment that he makes contact the tight end has got his foot planted on
the ground creating a shear force so was trying to supplant it and the leg is being pushed to the
side this is a great opportunity to try an injury and ankle this could cost an ankle fracture or an
ankle sprain depending on the severity of the injury and the force of contact at the time we
can see that he's the Titanic able to plant his foot afterwards and he's actually able to weight
bear on it so the likelihood of there being a fracture is probably low he's definitely in pain
he's definitely having some problems getting up I would say for this guy I'm keen that probably he's
got an ankle sprain and I'd have to check that to make sure but that's probably what he's got going
on okay so this is video number five and blue got here do that fine hair like fingers versus brown
beans okay whoa all right yeah we have my receiver he was running out of the backfield okay we have
a receiver taking a short pass early by field injury senator comes down hill each attack hold
the offensive player as his foot is planted on the ground which is not necessarily a bad thing if the
foot is able to slide or move however when the defender tackles the defensive player he rolls
up on the foot which traps the court on the ground in an externally rotated position and you can see
that he breaks his tibia just above the level of the ankle we have a little force the running speed
and we have a rotation on the tibia and yeah it doesn't end well as I said in another video those
are very strong in compression awesome but they are crap in rotation but alright doesn't that
the razor makers happy nicest most dirty dumb short and first down yardage by McDonald it's
gruesome even if you want an arm injury okay okay now I see who this is full motion yeah we have ran
back who's been given the ball on the handoff and the defender reaches out grabs his leg to tripping
him as he puts his arm out he just so happens to fall this is pretty kooky because guys follow
their arms all the time but he just so happens to fall out an angle glance his hand and there's
a little bit of rotation there's no cranium as I told you before bones are great compression
cracking location as he falls to the ground with just that little bit of rotation he ends
up breaking his forearm both bones of the forearm and I can tell that because his he's basically got
a new elbow in the middle of the forearm yeah he sustains it both wounds forearm fracture
now bar both wounds of forearm to be fixated with plates and that is also a season an injury
but and I got to give props up to my man here because during the whole time he'll on to the
ball my dude is toughest down great ball control brother that's what I have to say so for today
