I am amazed this doesn't happen more often.

I am a newbie to wrestling & I have limited watching experience. Of the matches I do watch, I would expect some really gross injuries given the awkward positions the wrestlers find themselves.

Yep, a torn MCL and knee cartilage ended my wrestling career in college. -- Gadfly 04/01/2016 6:20PM

And still wrestled to 6th. Pretty amazing. ** -- dallasvt 04/01/2016 09:14AM

No kidding! Needs to tear his ACL more often! -- IV_Hokie12 04/01/2016 2:32PM

Here's wishing both of them full and speedy recoveries. ** -- dallasvt 04/01/2016 09:16AM

And I hate this for McFadden. ** -- dallasvt 04/01/2016 09:30AM

Tough sport, but man can we catch a break? -- hokie576 04/01/2016 09:09AM

My observation: Wrestling injuries are the rule rather than the exception. -- HokieJay 04/01/2016 12:33PM

You can tear ankle ligaments and -- Pylons 04/01/2016 09:01AM

Yeah, I thought "torn" meant no longer attached and therefore surgery? -- hokie576 04/01/2016 09:13AM

No, a tear is just that. Your example is a "detached" ligament. -- 48zip 04/01/2016 09:48AM

Thanks to you and Dallas for clearing that up for me. ** -- hokie576 04/01/2016 09:51AM

Yeah I tore multiple ligaments in my right ankle while at VT. No surgery. -- HokieJay 04/01/2016 12:24PM

I am no doctor, but torn ligaments in the ankle can heal without surgery.** -- dallasvt 04/01/2016 09:28AM

I think dresser might have gotten a bit carried away, fantastic news tho -- Jerseyhokie29 04/01/2016 09:23AM

Yup, he'll need 4-6 months to regain full flex and strength. -- HokieJay 04/01/2016 12:28PM
