They didn't reduce it on the field. It was in the locker room and involved a lot of people. Probably 6-7. Maybe 5 to wrap a sheet around his leg to pull and a couple more that were pulling the other way, probably with sheets wrapped around his torso. And I'm guessing he was knocked out.It made a big difference in Tua's prognosis that there was an orthopedic surgeon present who was able to immediately reduce his hip dislocation right there on the field. The prognosis is much better with prompt versus delayed reduction of a hip dislocation.
I've had 3 dislocations in my life and if he was awake for a hip dislocation he's the toughest SOB on the planet and should be the #1 draft pick.
