For the people wondering how it happened. It happened in a sparring session with a guy who is about the same length and weight as me. I tried an Uchi-mata on him that failed. He tried to counter with a Tani-otoshi when I wanted to step on the ground. My foot stayed on the ground while he pulled me towards the other side. I head he snap above my ankle and that was the moment I knew it was broken..
Ps. It was not the fault of my opponent. It was a coincedence..
Exactly couple of weeks back, I had a trimalleolar fracture because of the same exact situation. Had a surgery and now I have 15 screws and a plate in my leg.
My sparring partner was short and stocky, I’m a tall person. Without breaking my kuzushi, he did tani otoshi by dropping his weight onto my leg. I couldn’t get my leg out and it snapped 3 times.
