Doctor Reacts To Painful UFC MMA Injuries

we looked at injuries at almost every sporting League you requested UFC let's get started now this is the shot that gave her the swelling and right after that right hand by the champion her forehead immediately started swelling up oh look at that oh big shot by the champion that's a hematoma and while that looks terrible it's not as dangerous had that hematoma formed inside her skull because remember inside the skull there's no place for it to go so pressure builds up and then that pressure is dangerous for the neurologic tissues the brain itself if there's no fracture and it just superficial bleeding it looks worse than it is in many instances oh this is the same person wow pretty [Music] incredible more busy with the left oh oo good right hand by baroso oh my goodness oh oh oh oh stop the fight look he hits him oh my goodness wow most commonly when you see a strike it right away incapacitates a fighter but in this situation there was a delayed response which could be that the muscles were still their firing and then only after the brain recognized what's going on it completely shut down and went into a prone [Music] position you that looked like it was to the frontal bone the top portion of the skull there right on the nose oh my God look at the nose it's like completely sideways no no don't fix it just just wait for the doctor I mean the nasal bones are so tricky there's a lot of cartilage there and one the one of the most worrisome things is that you can get a nasal seple hematoma there and that type of bleeding into that section is dangerous and problematic and requires urgent attention the blow was so bad that Perry started having trouble breathing and ended up being hospitalized Perry underwent successful no surgery in Uruguay Mike it's good to see you and your new nose it's looking great look can you do this ER oh my dear can you do [Music] that here we go ooh heavy low kick he kicked me right here there's a nerve a perennial nerve that will shut your foot off his toe his big ass Ecuadorian toe hit my perennial nerve right here it shut my foot off my foot was completely numb went to step back on my foot but my foot didn't work I fell down so you roll your ankle the pronal nerve or the common fibular nerve is a branch off the sciatic nerve most people heard of sciatica if you get hit there it actually can paralyze the nerve paralyzing that nerve at least temp temporarily what can happen is you develop foot drop where you don't have the muscle called the tibialis anterior on the foot to actually raise up your foot so the foot drops and then there's also uh some weakness in the muscle on the outside of the foot so your foot basically Falls Inward and obviously you can't step on a foot that's flailing uh you lose your base all other issues [Music] occur the leg again and again look he's does consider taking this fight and Jose Aldo just to go here displine scramble very freely kicks it without a good base it's near impossible to have a good [Applause] fight oh my God left hook to the midsection down goes F yeah he had to get carried back to his corner I mean they didn't want him using leg any than he has toow day after uh the big fight dude leg kicks are deceiving man it feels like I was getting hit with a bat that's the first time I've really been punished with those you can kind of see here my leg oh my God that oh Jesus look at that that's a that's a serious hematoma there remember when you hit muscle muscle bleeds that's where bruise bruises come from and if you hit the muscle enough you could actually have electrolyte disturbances and neurologic disturbances where the muscle starts firing not firing shutting down being slow to react cramping so that's what's happening every time you're getting kicked they kind have to wait for like the swelling to go down and stuff before they MRI or anything right well first we get x-rays to make sure bones aren't broken and what's interesting about x-rays is they're not incredibly sensitive they don't catch all stress fractures for example or really small fractures so in that instance we do get MRIs you would prefer swelling to go down now uh on the other hand if you know you wait two weeks and the swelling goes down and and the patient's fine clinically there's no issue getting an MRI might be Overkill Bel for very fluid and relaxed here in the early going there he is again that left high kick and Bisping is opened up and in all sorts of trouble that'll do it when was your vision first compromised was it after the it was after the vtor fight right it it was the vtor fight that did it uh and I slowly started get our symptoms I was do doing this a lot in restaurants you know restaurants are dark some of them I was like I was doing this you know he wants to see if he has peripheral vision my friends would be like oh he's doing that thing again with his hands I'm like can you see your hand there if you do that by the end it was like right in front of me there and I couldn't see called a doctor and said yeah you got to detach retina interesting cuz a detach retina happens quite suddenly and there's three different signs that we look for or symptoms that we look for in patients one is like the quick loss of vision uh some people described as a curtain going over the eye new floaters in the eye like happening very quickly and then also flashing lights this is a surgical emergency that uh we are taught to refer and get them treatment within 24 hours it's just a a bump in the road hopefully the surgery lasted over an hour they injected oil in my eye they used a laser they put a silicone sponge around the outside and eventually reattached my retina it red detached I got glaucoma it was just bad luck one thing after the other anything that could go wrong with an eye went the thing was with the eye when you start uh performing surgeries on the eye and then still continuing Combat Sports it creates all sorts of different risk factors that's why when I was talking to some of my Opthalmology colleagues about getting lasick before my boxing match they were telling me the different options some of which carried a higher risk uh given the fact that I was going to experience head trauma as a fighter how did you pass this test with great difficulty lying chea cheating [ __ ] codes I lied to so many doctors that's pretty sad to hear that he had to do that uh cuz it put his life in jeopardy and I'll show you right now so as we see there is the prosthetic lens so I definitely can't live without this thing that's really cool I I have no idea about a prosthetic lens is that's above my pay [Music] grade there's no point of comparison for Ferguson I don't know who you'd comp oh that elbow felt El likeone maybe blew his nose and that right eye now is almost up you cannot blow you can't blow your nose doctor saying you can't fight I think I watched this fight you can't fight doct tell he can't fight the doctor's protecting him and yeah I mean his eye is absolutely terrible there's probably a fracture in there somewhere that's causing air pockets to go into his eye making it completely swollen shut and that's dangerous not just for the eye itself but also for the fighter because they're not going to be able to see a fight come from a punch come from that direction you blew your nose which is something you're never supposed to do and your eyes swoll up I also used to see I think this was in a Rocky movie where they would cut the eye that is really swollen allow it to bleed against you know got to open my eye come here we don't do this this is highly illegal and dangerous for so many reasons a lot of vital structures there that if you damage that could be permanent Camaro I got to go to you man what does joran de Castro need to do right now man to get back in this fight shoulders out wow talk about sportsmanship but the ref has to see it oh my God he's trying to put it in himself that's bone on bone grinding there remember Bones have articular cartilage so it's cartilage that rubs over the head of the bone that allows it to move smoothly within that joint then there's the laum that keeps it in place and if you have issues with your laum or ligamentous laxity or weak tendons in that area you can be more prone to developing a dislocation if they put it back in the socket could you restart of course you could medically yeah if they were able to reduce a shoulder really quickly again I don't know the rules here but he might be completely fine there's instances where someone has a very loose shoulder so much so to the point where it comes out frequently they're able to pop it back in themselves and continue fighting or doing what whatever it is [Music] so back to his feet oh that's when his light give [Applause] out it's not a dislocation that's a displaced fracture oh stop showing it you can't watch it none of usance no I can't watch it I mean I'm still a human I was injured going into the vo let's people are asking me when was the leg broke or what at what point did the leg break ask stay away asked the UFC asked Dr Davidson the head doctor of the UFC they knew I was my leg I had stress fractures in my leg going into that cage stress fractures certainly put you at risk for a complete fracture this is why I frequently have patients who are drastic Ally increasing their mileage training for a marathon or something and I see a stress fracture they have pain in their bone I diagnose them and I tell them don't run the marathon cuz you could snap your leg and they say no no no I'm good and then things like this happen and that's the risk that that's the risk of continuing to train on a stress fracture there's actually some unique tools that exist through sound they can speed up healing it's pretty interesting uh I've seen some preliminary research on them being beneficial I haven't checked in on the research over the last few years but they look like this and they're pretty cool in that they could potentially speed up healing of fractures which is great for professional athletes so now I've got a titanium rod going down the knee from the knee to me angle and the doctor said it's unbreakable I wonder if he didn't have his accent would we find this message equally as Charming if you didn't know I fought Nate Diaz's boy Chris
