THAT is awful. I had that happen to a young girl once playing soccer. THey had to use screws and rods to fix it. Worst thing I ever saw.

The worst part of this tragedy?

Mr and Mrs Nurkic, what do you want to name your child?

Jurkic.

Jurkic Nurkic?

Yes. Much beautiful.

I had a similar injury in early 2012. Broke my fibula and tibia and dislocated and broke the ankle. Had surgery, a bunch of screws and a long titanium plate. Took me a year to recover, 3 surgeries but I was back running in mid 2013.

Ditto here. Fell awkwardly after a two-fisted backhand in a loooong tennis match. Broken tibia, dislocated ankle that had my foot pointed at a 30-degree angle.

ER ortho: This gonna hurt like hell, then you're going to feel 50% better. 1 ... 2 ... 3

It was more like 40%.
