Prayers to Kevin Ware and his family. That was the most gruesome injury I've ever seen.

I was going to little league practice and said one on the way as they were describing what happened. I haven't seen one even close to that bad since the wrestler Sid Vicious jumped off the top rope and landed on one leg in the exact same manner.

I also wish him a speedy recovery. Louisville played very well today! Onto the final four.

Could anyone tell where exactly he broke his leg? Was it his ankle bone or higher up in the tibia or fibula?
I broke my leg bone where the Tibia bone connected to the left ankle bone. That's called the Lateral Malleolus bone. And that's a very painful break. So I know what Keven is felling right now. They will give him some lortabs to ease the pain. If he's lucky they will give him some morphine. That works a lot better than Lortabs.

It takes about 8 weeks in a leg cast to recover and then it will hurt for a long time after the cast comes off. But he will recover and play again hopefully.

OK I just got more information from the web. They are saying that he broke his lower leg in two places and the bone was sticking out of his leg by six inches. That to me is a compound fracture if the bone end penetrated the skin. That's a very bad break that will take much longer than 8 weeks to heal. He will require surgery on that leg and let's hope he gets some good surgeons.

I didn't see it when it happened so I missed it. I just read that he told the team to win the game after he broke his leg. I wish him a speedy recovery and he has my prayers .

I think the Duke coaches and players were as upset as anyone! Prayers for K Ware and kudos to Duke!

I hope the young man has a speedy successful recovery

Worst basketball injury I've ever seen...and an amazing amount of love shown by Louisville for their fallen comrade. Good showing by Duke also.

The game was kind of insignificant after that.

Nice win by the Cards.

I hope they finish the run for Ware.

That was the worst leg break I have ever witnessed. Pitino said 6 inches of bone was visible sticking out. Some of the players almost passed out.

Duke and coach K are a classy bunch, I have nothing but praise for them right now. They win like men and they loose like men and showed true compassion. One or two players were seen kneeling and praying for Ware, that makes them good with me....

Compound fracture of both tibia and fibula, about the middle of the shin, maybe a little higher. Tibia was protruding from the skin. You can find the gruesome images if you search.

Keven posted a picture of him walking on crutches at the Hospital.

He posted pictures showing his leg wrapped in bandages and him standing up on crutches. Instagram and twitter are useful resources.

Because of the Indy five hundred the Indianapolis Methodist Hospital has the best leg Dr. anywhere in the U.S. He is in a great hospital I heard that his injury was not career ending.
