[QUOTE="Mondio, post: 828760, member: 10441"] I'm pretty positive it wouldn't have been the former. Some of those plateau fx's you can displace a large chunk of bone. that's unstable and would never be allowed to play on. It would have been surgery. The fx was probably just a defect in the cortical bone on the top of the tibia causing a weak spot, but i doubt the fx traveled down the length of the shaft or anywhere else. It's like the "broken back" some players have had. You can have fx's in certain parts of lumbar vertebra and the surrounding musclulature and such keeps it stable and safe. Hurts like crazy, but you can still play with it. Move that same fx to another part of the bone or move it over a little bit and suddenly it's unstable and they're out. That doesn't mean it doesn't hurt like hell though and would explain some of the uncharacterstic throws we saw him make last year. His consistency was off, but that happens when you don't have a stable platform to throw from for an entire season. [/QUOTE]
