    Man, just listening to the description of what a posterior wall fracture is and what exactly happened to Bo Jackson. They say Tua's hip popped out of socket and the staff had to pop it back in. Bo Jacksons popped out and then popped back in itself and when it did severed the main artery that is in your leg. Wow.

    yeah that's a lot of pressure. His thigh was almost exactly perpendicular to the ground where his knee hit straight down, as then a 300 lb guy or 2 is falling on him. I imagine the pop was audible. The fracture probably occurred as the ball of the hip was throw against the wall before popping out, which is similar to fracturing a pelvis as far as what it takes to do it.
    Bo had necrosis due to the artery injury, and it appears Tua never had the same issue. Fracture will calcium up and heal itself as I assume they won't have to plate it. Unsure of the hip labrum and other ligaments, but the bone will heal faster than if he tore a labrum or another tendon when it dislocated.
