[QUOTE="FatGreg, post: 1218881, member: 562927"] I also had a similar injury: broken fibula and tibia, dislocated ankle, 2 partially torn ligaments. I had 3 surgeries and now have a titanium plate and 7 screws permanently in my lower leg. It effectively ended my Illini rugby career (happened at the end of my junior season), which was severely disappointing as I had legitimate hopes of making All-American as a senior. Recovery took a full year. BUT, no real long-term effects: I eventually recovered full speed, strength, and leaping ability. I think mine was a fair amount worse than Te'Jon's. Unless there's a mechanical issue, he should be 100% by the season. [/QUOTE]
