Anderson Silva's broken leg

Anderson Silva recently underwent surgery to repair a broken leg during a fight that he won. The kick that won him a victory also cost him a badly broken left leg (tibia and fibula bones).  The UFC estimated his recovery time to be as long as six months.

The surgery that he underwent involved the insertion of an intramedullary rod in the tibia. The broken fibula was stabilized and did not required a separate surgery.

Podiatrists all over United States have the experience and knowledge to treat these and many other sports related injuries.
