It's got to be torn, or maybe it's the patella that's dislocated.

Tendons lay in a certian area when at rest, so I guess it could mean that the tendon is out of it's groove... That's pure speculation though.

Portis breaks a big one on a screen! Amazing job Samuels!

I think he probably dislocated his knee and tore his patella tendon which is really bad... may be the worst thing he could do.

Tell me it's not a career ender though.

Not a doctor, but know It's a bad one

That could really kill his mobility for the rest of his career.

Good news is that I believe (and I'm not a doctor, but I do know anatomy) that a torn patellar is easier to heal than an ACL.

Let's wait for the MRI. This can also be like Jumpers Knee

I think that might be what we're looking at

[jsarno]

nice to see sellers back and looking good.

[BringBackJoeT]

Uh oh. We've got a 14 point second half lead. You know what that means . . .

[jsarno]

who would guess the offense would wake up after losing campbell.

[BringBackJoeT]

On a real network, we would have long since gotten some sideline injury updates. Can't believe how amateur-ish this broadcast is.

[BringBackJoeT]

Atta boys special teams!

Abstract Irreducible knee dislocation due to incarcerated soft tissue structures in associated fractures is extremely uncommon. We report a case of irreducible, closed dislocation of the knee secondary to incarcerated patellar tendon in a Hoffa fracture (unicondylar fracture of femur in the coronal plane) with associated communited fracture of patella and disruption of both cruciates. We treated this case initially with open reduction and internal fixation of fracture and repair of the patellar tendon. During the total followup period of eighteen months, the patient had restricted joint range of motion with no joint instability despite aggressive physiotherapy and further surgical intervention. The prognosis of such complex knee injuries with combination of ligamentous injuries and associated fractures is much worse when compared to either injuries alone.

So, in other words ...
