My classmate during randori failed a drop osoto gari right as I landed from a hop and planting my foot hard. Somehow this caused my tibia/fibula to POP!
Everybody in the dojo thought I just landed really hard until they saw how wrong my leg looked.
Anyway, I'm recovering and will be filing an insurance claim with USJA.
Update: I'm healing quickly.

hard to say, it might depend on how your rehabilitation and recovery goes

I broke my tibia in a freak volleyball accident in Thailand last summer, it sucked really bad. Took about a year but now it feels like nothing ever happened, so hang in there.
Tip: avoid ibuprofen as it apparently slows the bone healing process

Sometimes our meat sacks just fail, I guess.
I had to look up the ibuprofen thing. It seems the issue is NSAIDs more broadly, which is a shame cuz this crap hurts.

Yeah my surgeon told me that when I broke my wrist a few years ago. I stuck with acetaminophen and aspirin as much as I could for this injury.

It was so much worse before the EMTs straightened it to transport me.

Huh, we always called it "sweeping the leg," or "judo throw," but I was in MMA/ kickboxing. TIL. Hope you recover well.

I like that there's one particular throw that gets called the "judo throw".
