Do You Know?! Doctor Explains BO JACKSON INJURY

You don't know!! Or maybe you do, but let me break it down in more simple terms and actually help you learn what happened to possible the greatest athlete of all time, Bo Jackson.

In this video we'll review the injury footage to explain how his hip was injured, discuss some basic anatomy, and then talk about this idea of avascular necrosis and how it happens.

Thanks for watching!!

If you're here after the Tua injury, will try to get a vid up later tonight

"he doesn't look to seriously injured" *never seen in an NFL uniform again* that's why it's extremely sad to me

I watched Bo Jackson play from his days in Auburn to the NFL with the Raiders. Even though I was a "San Diego" Charger fan at the time I couldn't help but marvel at his combination of speed and power. Incredible athlete, too bad his playing days were cut short from a rare football injury.

Damn, Bo Jackson was the reason why I started watching Football & I would've watched Baseball because of him as well.

Great explanation. I had avascular necrosis of my left hip and had it replaced successfully 4 years ago. Mine took 3 or 4 years to develop after a fall.

Please do Ryan Shazier’s spinal injury

Doctor Sutterer I was broadcasting that game at KYNO-FRESNO live when Bo Jackson was hurt.. We were the Los Ángeles Raiders radio affiliated station. I was also watching it on tv. Thank you for the very simple but very articulate explanation!!

Explaining who Bo Jackson is to my 8yr old and revisiting this clip was very informational. I never understood at the time because it looked like such a normal tackle. Really a shame he couldn't have a full career in either sport because he was definitely gifted.

I didn't realize how intricate the hip was until I had surgery to repair an acetabulum impingement. From something that seemed basic ended up taking me a full year to fully recover.

You should do Peyton Manning's neck injury

Thanks for shedding some light on this topic

You know, growing up. Some of us didn’t think we could be doctors. I’ve been watching you off and on over the years. You’ve taught me a lot. I don’t have children yet.

When I do, I can honestly say doctors like you and videos such as yours have restored my faith in becoming a doctor. My children will be an extension of me. If they become doctor, I became a doctor!

Bo was a true super athlete! His 4:12 40yd dash i think still stands. That’s an amazing feet for a 230 lb guy!

[stevemercury]

Very well explained, thanks. So much going on in the hip joint area. Lose the blood flow, lose the cells.

[liamrex]

I’m honestly just waiting for this channel to blow up because these videos are so good!

[leonmaliniak]

Brilliant video with detailed explanations that you rarely see in any other videos.

Great work and very informative.

[Jfrederickhall]

I just had a THR due to AVN. Next one planned next year. This was a great video explaining the injury and how the hip works. Thanks!

[freddychavez]

Great explanation...this is tragic and fascinating at the same time

A more inspiring avascular necrosis situation that actually had a happier ending involved former 49ers running back Garrison Hearst. After the injury, to his ankle, it took two years and special transplant surgery for Hearst to defy the odds and bring the 49ers back to playoff caliber status. I don't know if a similar procedure could have saved Bo's hip and career but it's certainly worth a mention here.

Bo Jackson was absolutely the greatest athlete to live. That combo of size, speed, and pure athletic ability will probably never be seen again
