Is there something that's occurring in addition to multiple tears that causes such a difference? Is it infection that makes the situation that much worse?
How does one end up with a knee recontruction vs. a typical rehab from a multi-tear injury?
Milton dislocated his knee which tore the popliteal artery. Sometimes that can result in amputation, but they were able to restore the circulation with a vascular graft.
Smith had an open tib/fib fracture with subsequent necrotizing fasciitis and sepsis.
All three had different injuries.
