Thanks for you expertise on this! The neck fracture was actually from a previous injury, so they strengthened it while performing the main surgery. Hoping to accelerate your recovery timeline though…
We all hope you feel better soon!!
You've gotta be the coolest guy out there, get well soon buddy!
Feel better soon. I had massive back surgery at 24 now at 41 its not doing so well. Take it easy.
Hope you feel better!
Best wishes Tony. My cousin just broke his femur while skiing too, nasty stuff. We are wishing you the best and a speedy recovery.
Man proud of you brotha good to see another brother become a doctor
I can 100%, never been so sure in my life, promise you will see tony skating again. people like him are rare, hes a true champion and this will be small for him to overcome considering what hes done in his life. people like him dont let this kind of stuff stop them.
Don't undersell the effort by saying it will be a small thing lol Something like this is *never* small
Dayum you Love
The strengthening process is so crucial, Never knew myself until I ruptured my achilies tendon, a 3cm parting. It surprisingly healed without surgery and now im on the Process of strengthening it without walking aid.
Big ups to you surgeons and then afterwards those who handle therapy.
It always sucks seeing your heros get hurt... that was a gnarly break! I hope he's healed up and doing better these days. Respect to Tony and much love to him and his family.
Tony is a living legend!
That's how mine looks and I shattered my pelvis
You're a doctor and you're calling his beamer being separated a fracture oh my f****** God are you f****** serious within 3 seconds are you even a f****** doctor dude I'm going to look up your s***
This video caught my eye since I had femoral spiral compound fracture when I was 3 years old just by jumping off running board of my Dad's pickup. I am now 72 so LONG time ago. My treatment involved casting and 6 weeks with my legs suspended in the air in hospital for 6 weeks. By the time cast was removed had apparently quite a bit of muscle atrophy and took awhile to walk normally again. Recovered quite well but would not want to be immobilized like that now! Love your informative videos Dr. Webb!
Would also love to see an explanation of Steph Curry’s injury. I watched it live and thought it was pretty minor but I guess you never know with these ligament injuries. As always, love the content Dr. Webb from an aspiring Orthopod!
Hi Dr. Webb! It would be great for you to discuss Ben Simmons' herniated disc injury. It seems he had an epidural injection. However, isn't that mainly used for women before giving birth?
I graduated from UTHSCSA med school in the previous century and remember the experience fondly. One of the best schools in the nation IMO because of the VA , County hospitals, and Santa Rosa Children’s. Got a lot of experience as a student, was invited to stay, but moved back to my home state. Miss San Antonio.
my dad is one of the orthopedic trama surgeons in fort worth at harris. respect to all of yall the work is crazy but pays in the end
Wow. Thank you for another great video doctor Webb. I grew up watching Tony Hawk because he was fearless and an innovator. If you've never seen him skateboarding, look him up on RUclips. Sad to hear but he is a tuff guy so I think he'll be ok.
Thank you for your service Dr. Webb. Being a usmc parent and working in healthcare as well, I always appreciate the physicians with your background, just a little bit more. God bless.
I can't even imagine the pain from this injury.
It would be bad. I did my wrist as a child and that was bad enough. Full femur in an adult. Ouch.
I feel it
It isn't fun...
@@brockhiggs2180 I was resting after an accident with a broken femur
I broke my femur it was like hell 😂
Wow, that is amazing--walking immediately after surgery! 100 years ago and this would have likely been a crippling injury or death. 50 years ago and it was weeks and weeks of recovery. Nowadays, you are walking within 24 hours of the accident and sent home the next day. Thank you science.
It's in part due to us learning more about the very damaging effects of atrophy and trying to reduce immobilisation as much as possible- the patients cannot use their leg as usual right after surgery, but they're strongly advised to move it anyways just so they don't end up having to do 2 years of physiotherapy after :) But science really did come a long way!
i had a hip replacement a few years ago, i was only in the hospital for 24 hours, they said that procedures going forward would be same day discharge. it really is nuts how quickly we can get things done now.
i broke both femurs 3 years back, had me walking 2 days after surgery. everyday youre in a bed not moving you lose 15-20% of your muscle a day. its nuts.
Thank you for posting this informative video, it was very helpfull in understanding trauma surgery.
1,5 years ago I broke my femur bone from falling down a roof, it was only about 3 meters and I was 30 years old, but I fell very hard.
Long gammanail surgery happened and it took me 6 months untill they removed the pin, I was unable to walk normally when the pin was inside my leg and was able to walk without sticks 3 months after surgery, but with a wobble. After another 3 months they remove my long gamma nail and I was able to walk again after a few days, without a wobble and like normally. The pain was something I can't describe, very thankful for surgery and people that work as surgeon, your work is really amazing piece of art and helped me.
Also back in the days someone would die from femur fracture, nowadays surgeons can do so much its amazing.
A friend had multiple compound fractures in one leg when he was on his bike and was hit by a car when the driver tried a U turn without looking. The car driver wasn't insured and vanished without trace a few days after the accident.
My friend has had multiple surgeries on his leg.
This is a sad and all-too-common scenario.
Driving is a privilege to be earned, not a right.
Most collisions are preventable with better driver behavior.
ER doctor here !!!! Amazing video and quick ! STAY SAFE all !! It reminded me when I reacted to Tiger Woods car crash ;/.
My cat had a femoral neck fracture on his front shoulder. Full recovery but cost me $1500 twenty years ago. He was walking on it the day after the surgery but had to keep him inside which was a struggle. He died a year later. 5 years old but he fought a lot. Great cat, probably had a lot of little ones.
Just a fellow Airman and Roadrunner coming by to say you're doing a great job and we're all proud of you, bud. Keep it up
👊🏾
Watching this video and when I saw the x-ray that made my legs hurt-ouch! I remember seeing the competition when Tony Hawk performed the 900 for the first time in competition and broke his ankle. If memory serves me correct I believe three screws and a plate were put in to stabilize everything while healing. Hopefully Tony heals up with no problems.
Thank you for this excellent explanation.
Thanks. I was curious after seeing the news. One Love
You should call your channel Webb MD. 😂
But seriously, thanks for giving us this info and you’re one of my role models. -Dee from Shreveport
Best wishes to Tony for a good recovery. It’s a long road.
You Sir are one Hell of an Surgeon !
Cool content. I don't know anything about medicine but the Doc's explanation is always clear
A broken femur is a serious injury that requires immediate medical care. Let me fist say that pain was unbearable, even after they gave me morphine it still was hurting.
I had fallen off a ladder at work in 2005 I had a Broken femur. They put about 8 screws and a plate inside of my left leg, after that recovery I was in so much pain, I would come home from work and just sit in my easy chair for an hour or so.
Then about 2011 I had total knee replacement by Dr Crovetti in Henderson NV, what an amazing Dr and staff, I feel much better now, thanks Dr Crovetti for all you did.
Great video!! 🔥 When I was 3 years old I had titanium rods placed in both of my tibias and both of my femurs. Crazy to see the growth and how the rods got “smaller” as I grew. When I was 14 I fell and dislocated my knee and popped the rod out of the femur but not through the skin. They quickly put me under and took that one out 😂
why didn't they just let the bone heal back?
@@GrandmaSkillz my leg bones had bowed outwards since birth so the ortho doc decided to break them and put the rods in to help the bones heal/grow straighter
@@hmaups5 damn so a reverse Forrest Gump you had the “braces” on the inside. Hopefully you got the unlimited endurance perk to go with it xD.
I broke my femur in the middle of the shaft aged 12 back in 2008... Horrible injury. I hit my head at the same time so i don't remember it so thankfully didn't feel the pain initially but looking at the injury took me for a whirlwind and shocked 😳 fractured my right humerus and had an electric saw in my right calf ... Wild
do you know how long it took for you to start walking again? im going through a broken femur right now 😅
Would love a video on PAs in ortho practices, how they're utilized etc. I'm pre PA and am extremely interested in this specialty. Awesome vid!
you're better off shadowing to really know
@@ugiboogy1111 yes but i would love from a physicians pov but you are right
Not a PA but worked in an ortho practice for a few years before starting med school. Going to depend on the provider but essentially seeing post-ops/follow-ups, doing joint injections, first assisting in every surgery, rounding in the mornings if you’re doing in-patient cases like joints/spine. A lot would let their PAs see new patients and manage them within their scope of care, but some wouldn’t and wanted to see every new patient. I think a lot of it just comes down to how much they trust you. Of all the subspecialties in ortho I think hand/wrist PAs got to do the most and theres no rounding since its all outpatient cases.
you guys!!!! we found him!!! Webb, MD!! its him!!
Really informative. I love it! Great video🔥
Thanks to my Brittle Bone Disease (Osteogenesis Imperfecta) I fx'd my femur while simply walkimg down a hall. I have an IM rod inserted distally. I hope he does better with steps than the issues I've had. Young and healthy, he should be good. That is my prayer for him.
Hey! Me too!! I’ve got femur rods and femoral neck pins! Happy to see another OIer
First! I’ve never been this early. You’re a huge inspiration Dr. Webb
Interesting! Glad it was helpful for Tony!
Not sure if it was intentional or not, I'm so happy to see an actual surgeon say the word "muscles" and enunciate the "c". I got a good chuckle out of it because my GF gives me an unimpressed look when I do it to be silly.
5:59 aand yepp Tony goes into this category now, he posted an update a short while ago that his bone has not healed at all because he was taking it too lightly and started skating and doing tricks waaay too fast. Hope he finally takes the time needed and heals fully.
Broke my Femur at 26 snapped it in half Had a ti rod & 2 screws in my knee and at 39 learned to Skate again, ride & race motorcycles and walk. Skateboarders are the strongest humans to live 🛹💨🙌🏾🙏🏽
Wow!! Thanks for sharing
@@antoniowebbmd I appreciate it I was back to doing everything I love within under a year after my Sports p.t. and rehab...👊🏽🙏🏽💪🏾
Fracture my femur in April this year was 26 now 27 worst pain I ever felt, feels good to know you are fully active again hoping I will be soon
Hey same thing happened to Me this April broke me femur how long until I can walk again? Also are you any better now ?@@christopherkhalifafoster4277
love you Dr. Webb!
I feel tony was lucky. Thanks doc
At his age he be smart not to do those crazy tricks anymore!! Just my opinion as I’m not a doctor. Love ya Tony. 💚💚💚💚
The legend of HAWK… continues.
That had to hurts like non-Other….
And yes. Hawk will skate again.
Broke my right femur, left tibia and fibula, the pain is crazy but it gets better every day, also have a stiff knee I'm battling with.
Just broke my femur. Worst pain ever.
The emergence medical splinting for the is basically a bicycle seat on a telescoping pole. The seat sits in the patients groin while the far end straps to the foot/ankle. The the pole is elongated to, if I remember right, 5 pounds of force stretching the leg out so the ends of the break to not over lap and can return to a more natural alignment and reduce pain.
It’s called a Sager splint, and one of the main benefits of applying traction to a femur fracture is that it stretches out the thigh muscles which will cramp when the leg is shortened. Traction provides a great deal of pain relief.
I’ve had a fractured femur so I understand this some what
Ur a legend starting to look up to you please post more would like to be ur assistant one day
This looks like the break that I just recently experienced in a football accident at 12
Tony Hawk discussed this injury and the medical operation a couple weeks ago on The Adam Carolla Show. He said the doctor went in there and worked on some other past skateboarding injuries as well.
This was interesting. In '71 I had a (car accident,) left comminuted femur, broken into 4x2" pieces, and a compound left tib and fib. 2" femur shortening thru surgeon error. 4 months in hospital and non-weight bearing full plaster for a further 8 months. 5 ops. Then 15 years later a right femur shortening by 2" to line me up. Sadly my leg was joined up 60* out. So a de-rotational osteotomy was performed. Now, 51 years later, my left knee clonking is my only issue. Still have the 10" steel plate with 8 screws on right femur.
This is why I'm terrified of vert skating
I love that you can tell that he is from the south. His st are pronounced sk skrong skrength
Thanks for this, I just got my nail put in last month. Then a second surgery as the rotation of my leg was off and the bottom screw needed to be adjusted… so that sucked. I’m 41 year old male and all I did was slip on ice while trying to help push a car slipping on the ice on the road. So let that be a lesson to everyone. This can happen to not just Tony hawk. Too bad for me, there’s large chunk of bone that the Psoas muscle on the left side attaches to that has completely broken off. Doctors here keep saying I’m a young man and it will heal. With no additional surgery for that one piece, I’m not sure how that will happen, but hey, I’m just kinda glad I’m not the only younger guy that this happens to.
Best video what i have founded . In my case after 4 weeks i walk already with crutches. Shall i wait for muscle exercises until 8 weeks?
Antonio J. Webb, M.D - Back in late 1980's and possibly early 1990's, didnt they use bedrest and traction to heal all femur fractures? I was a military corpsman and a friend of mine broke his femur while riding a motorcycle
Thank you for your service. My late father retired Navy, served as a Combat Medic during Vietnam. Salute!
Speaking from experience - don't break your femur. However, if you do Mr Kunster's intramedullary rod is the road to go down.
coming off a distal femoral condyle fracture & displacement. took me 3 months to start walking but the second i did it was easy, got 2 42mm screws now though!
mark mcmorris broke his femur in snowboard big air in 2016. in 2017 he won the burton us open slopestyle. if that's anything to go by, tony hawk is going to do okay.
I had same femur fractures from bone tumors, haven’t skated since 2017
Dr. Webb are you able to do a video about Deion Sanders having to get 2 toes amputated?
*"nahhh man it's not a break it's just a fracture-"*
me: YOU *SURE* ABOUT THAT!?
My quesrion foe Dr webb. My daughter had a femur, pelvic surgery 11 days ago. Any feedback on what to do for a speedy recovery?
Great video
I can't imagine the pain.
Dr. Webb,
my background is in engineering and woodworking, but the woodworking side of me makes me think about how I’d repair a table leg or post… and that would be with pins (wooden or metal) and epoxy. When I watch surgery videos I often think how similar to woodworking orthopedic repairs are… except your tools and fasteners are 20 times more expensive. 😬
So my question is; is epoxy or glue ever used in orthopedic surgery? Or would that impair the healing process of bone?
Thank you!
I wish I could listen to you with the Turkish translation. My little son had an accident. His femur was broken. We live in Turkey and doctors do not give enough information
I fell and broke mine such a freak accident and pain in ass recovery.
I had a freak spiral Tib/Fib fx just rollerblading to work few yrs. back.
I broke my femur about 4.5 weeks ago. I actually just slipped on ice and my femur snapped. I did find out that my Vitamin D level was very low in my blood.
What about the screws? Many videos show the screws sticking out the other side of the bone.
I've been dealing with a compound tib fib fracture for over a year. 7 surgeries, and currently have a halo on my leg due to staph. Also fractured a bone in my c spine on top of a level 2 fusion
Good information. Ty
My femur break was in a few more pieces. I have a muscle disease so I’m not walking yet, if ever again. Going on 7 months sitting in a chair. I have a $10k titanium rod also. Supposedly I would’ve been up in a day if I didn’t have the muscle disease. I did it just falling on to my knees from standing. I’ve done it a dozen times without anything but a sore knee. It’s a pure headache.
Here for Paulson adebo😢🙏🏾
About 20 years ago I was riding my 4 wheeler an flipped over an broken my femur bone an had to get a rod an screws in it. I was lucky for not feeling the pain was because I been a paraplegic an don't feel my legs
Hello Dr! Great video! What happens if the femor bone is inflammed and irritated with a very slight chip but not fracture. Can it heal itself ?
Just love watching your videos 💖. I would like to ask if physicians get up to 8 hours of sleep per day.
Thank you! I wonder if he’s going to retire after this.
No he isn’t
Good luck skating after this lol
@@tomr6866He’s still skating lol 😂
I fractured my femur as a child. Barely any impact I just tripped while walking. no one could figure out why it had fractured until we found out I had a genetic condition wearing my bones and ligaments.
Watching this in rehab with a femure fracture 3 weeks ago 😂
I also have a femur rod in my leg for the last 8 yrs..subtro break.. I fell in a pool skateboarding on my right femur and also fell on shoulder and exploded my greater tuberocity..6 screws and a plate there..wishing they would have replaced my shoulder as I now have only 30% ROM in my right shoulder
I've always found it interesting that for how miraculous modern medicine is, healing broken bones doesn't get much more medieval then, Let's hammer some nails into the Bone and it will be right as rain in 12 weeks
Does the nail stay inside the bone forever?
I broke my female right after the cancer surgery at rehab thank God for the metal rod already placed there. It broke in four places let me tell you it hurt.
He’s on his skateboard two weeks post injury
My beautiful kind selfless mother broke her greater trochanter and needed surgery. The surgery went well but she passed away 7 days later from apparently a blood clot. I’m disgusted by the hospitalists who pushed her out of the hospital after 2 days where she could have been better monitored. I miss my mom terribly and will always love and miss her.
That *is* genuinely disgusting. I'm so sorry for your loss.
I love your telescope.
Is the nail you put internally in the femur to stabilize it hollow? When it’s removed how long does it take for the bone marrow to grow back? Very fascinating stuff.
Forget Star Trek, This Doctor is the real "Bones"
I had both those fractures 4yrs ago but what I want know is how did they strengthen the previous fracture
Hey doc im 18 and just got diagnosed with osteomyelitis in my leg and I've been dealin with a pretty tough time leading up to the surgery. Do you thunk you could get me some insight on the surgery and typical recovery time with surgery like these. Along with the surgery on my leg im getting a picc line installed for 3 months.
i love tony he is like iron man
I was out at a Firebase in Afghanistan when the locals brought in a guy who had a compound fracture of his femur after getting hit by a truck on his motorcycle. SF Medic stabilized him, gave him morphine, Called for a US Medevac back to Kandahar. Saved the guys life. Even if an Afghan hospital set the leg he was likely to die from infection
I’m coming back from a 3 grade high ankle sprain complete tear and also a broken fibula had surgery January 26th and just now got the ok to try to start walking again so it’s definitely tough dealing with injuries like this and also I got a blood clot DVT in my leg after surgery so now I’m on blood thinners
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
What is the pain level for this? My 12 year old had Ehlers Danlos and has to have a 3rd surgery, removing her plates and screws and going in with a rod due to non union for over a year. She’s currently in her second spica cast until rod surgery in 2 weeks
Prob needs some vancomycin paste in there too
Hi Dr, I fractured my femur almost two years ago but up till now it hasn't heal. Can you please help me or advice me on what to do, please.
I’m curious if the medics used a Sager on him? I imagine this presented in the field as a classic mid-shaft femur which is a basic green light for a traction splint, but without knowing about the femur head fx as well, which would be a contradiction for the Sager.
I need to take some Ibuprofen just to recover from this video.
Question. Is there other options other than having a nail hammered into your bone? Can you just keep it in place for set period of time n it will heal itself or does the human body move too much in their sleep to be able for that to be possible
