Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

If You've Ever Wondered What a Broken Ankle Looks Like...

...while still enclosed by epidermis then this is the picture for you.

That was Duane "Bang" Ludwig's ankle, which suffered a "Maisonneuve fracture" defined as:

A fracture of the medial malleolus of the ankle with disruption of the tibiofibular syndesmosis. The resulting injury is a fracture of the proximal third of the fibula.

For those that don't understand complicated medical jargon allow WKR to translate, *ahem*, "Holy f***ing s***! That dude's ankle bone and shin bone just blew up inside his skin!"

Ludwig will have three pins inserted in surgery to set the bone. One will be removed after the bone heels.

...Brandon Vera's face was broken in three places. Yes, you read that right, his FACE!

Update: Brandon Vera told UFC.com: "My cheekbone and my orbital got cracked..."

All that from a Jon Jones' elbow.

We need to start calling those Mjǫllnir (Thor's Hammer) Elbows...alright, that was a bit dorky.

Embrace the dorkiness

Please.

I was a Thor fan too as a youngster… And then I became a Black Metal fan so I’ve never been able to forget about Mjollnir
