| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Jan 21 01:27AM -0600 In April 2020, when the Canadian Inquisition had only recently suspended its season, I posted this question originally written by someone on MI5 for use on 2020-02-03. > These athletes are named Smith. Give their first names. ... > fibula in his right leg in Week 11 of the 2018 season, and > has not played since, although he still hopes to return to > the NFL. Stephen Perry correctly named the athlete as Alex Smith. I'd just like to mention that "60 Minutes" did an item this week on the man. Due to the spiral break, the tibia was fractured into so many pieces that it had to be joined with plates and a couple of dozen screws inside the leg, *and* a sort of cage structure around the leg, called a "fixator", that he had to wear for 10 months. But it was worse than that. A "compound fracture" is one where the broken bone protrudes from the skin, and in this case, the result was that it got infected -- with *necrotizing fasciitis*, also known as "flesh-eating disease". As a result he lost a large part of the muscle tissue around the bone -- tissue that had to be removed, involving 8 surgeries in 10 days, so he wouldn't die of sepsis. Then they replaced some of it with a transplant from the other leg. And after *that*, a lot of physiotherapy and exercise. And 23 months after the injury that might well have cost him the leg, he was back playing in the NFL.
