Does pro wrestling count

Bobby Valentine's broken leg in 1973 when his cleats caught in the tarp of the fence and he broke multiple bones in his leg. Kinda Theismann like. I remember seeing pictures of it at the time in one of the sporting magazines. Couldn't find any pictures of it when I googled it though.

It doesn't get much worse than having your jugular slashed by an ice skate. Zidnik too.

Those were the videos I was trying to post above.
 
This is easily the worst to me. Prothro had so much potential too, it's sad.

I had a very similar injury my freshmen year of soccer. I only broke my fibula, but my leg looked exactly the same as Prothro's when it happened. It is a pretty scary sight to see your leg messed up like that. Thankfully in my situation, I only needed one surgery and was running cross country just a few months later.

How badly does a broken leg hurt? Is it one of those things where you go into shock and it goes numb real quick? Or is it just excruciating for a long time? How long does the pain last?

In my situation, I was in the middle of crossing the ball and someone came sliding at me with their cleats up. I got hit, and I remember getting hit in my left leg, falling down, and then thinking "Ow, that is going to hurt for a few days." Then I went to go stand-up, but my ankle was turned at an angle (kind of like Prothro in the video) and my left foot wouldn't touch the ground. I looked at my leg and went into shock pretty fast. It initially didn't hurt much, and that little bit of pain was irrelevant once I saw my leg. Had surgery that night, and I was never really in pain except for the three or four days after. I was all drugged out, but it still hurt like a bitch.
