InsideSurgery.com said:Lateral (outside) lower leg - this injury was sustained by Christopher Neiff , 24, of Norway. As with the lateral upper leg, this is not a life-threatening injury but can result in a limb-threatening injury.
In the mid upper thigh, the arterial supply of the leg moves to the midline and then travels in three separate arteries after an area of trifurcation just below the knee. The anterior tibia artery runs between the fibula and tibia and the peroneal artery runs on the outside of the leg, along with the peroneal nerve.
The injury suffered by Neiff was described as a 5 inch gash/slash running under the shin bone (tibia) up towards the knee joint. This puts both the anterior tibial and peroneal arteries as described above in jeopardy. Injury to either one of these arteries would bear strong consideration for operative repair in a young male who probably lacked collateral (alternate) blood flow.
However, even if successfully repaired initially, these vessels tend to clot off due to the ruptured inner arterial layer (intima). If there was signficant time before repair when the leg had decreased blood flow, a four compartment fasciotomy would likely performed. This entails making two incisions - one of each side of the leg- and incising the fascial layer (connective tissue layer) around the four muscle bundles in the leg.
Gorings in the lower leg would also have a high risk of bone fracture (particularly the fibula on the lateral lower leg), even in a young man. In addition, there is likely to be damage to the peroneal nerve, which is a structure so easily damaged that it can occur with incorrect positioning in the operating room. Injury to this nerve results in foot-drop and inability to turn the foot out.
Gorings in the lower leg would most likely be taken to the operating room.
shameHopefully it didnt go too far
I'm sure he's alright, and with the proper treatment he should get sorted out
Hopefully it didn't get as far in as the cartilage
