^ Minty- You ain't lyin'! I stepped backwards and fell down a hay chute, but the heel of my boot caught on the ledge, so I was stuck w/my knee twisted inside out, and I could hear all the ligaments, tendons stretching and the knee joint itself fixing to break, so I just pushed myself on thru and fell about 10 feet and landed on a pile of manure, with a bunch of baby calves sniffing and licking at me. Thank gawd it wasn't the bull pen! Anyway, when I stood up my leg was just swinging freely from the knee joint, every which way, the pain almost made me pass out, especially hours later when they did X-rays. Like you say, the docs said I would have been better breaking it than spraining the whole knee, and dislocating it. Never been the same, and that was 25 years ago.

It's like you pulverized everything under the skin..left skin/bone intact..
Does not sound good at all.
