Rich Swann
American Wrestler
My fibula was cracked in half to where it was a clean break, and it was poking at the skin, to where it could have been a compound fracture. My Achilles tendon was crushed like a soda can, the whole top of my foot was ripped off the bone, and the ankle was lodged up into my shin, on both sides.
Quote examples
Diego Sanchez
American Mixed Martial Artist
I was sparring with Dan Christison, a big heavyweight. I threw a leg kick and broke my fibula. Before the Florian training camp.

American Athlete
By 2012, I probably had, like, three stress reactions in my back. Two stress fractures in my fibula.
