00:00I'll give you the full rundown. Basically, I had a complex tibia fracture. I also fractured my fibular head, my
00:10tibial plateau, just kind of everything was in pieces.
00:13And the reason why it was so complex was because I had compartment syndrome. And compartment syndrome is when you
00:22have so much trauma to one area of your body that there's too much blood and it gets stuck.
00:28And it basically crushes everything in the compartment. So all the muscle and nerves and tendons, it all kind of
00:38dies.
00:39Dr. Tom Hackett saved my leg. He saved my leg from being amputated. He did what's called a fasciotomy, where
00:47he cut open like both sides of my leg, kind of fellated open, so to speak, let it breathe.
00:54Then, um, he saved me.
