Would be hard to tell without a view from the front. Could be anything from hyper mobility, femoral retro version, tibial torsion, or mix of a few of them.

World News@lemmy.world•Student, 15, has hand blown off by police stun grenade during French mass protestsEnglish
1·10 days agoMost of the patients I’ve had who became upper limb amputees from explosives had a closed hand around the explosive when it happened. You can hold something like a fire cracker in an open palm and walk away with mild burns. However, if you were holding the same firecracker in a closed fist I would be fitting you with a prosthetic in a few weeks.
Now I’m not sure exactly how much energy a stun grenade goes off with, but usually if the limb is irreparably damaged without also causing other bodily trauma, the patient was probably holding the device when it went off.
It is funny seeing an increase in young men trying to retcon their choice to not pursue higher education by claiming “real men do blue collar work”.
My field used to be like 95% men when I started around 20 years ago. I work in medicine, but our specialty uses a lot of heavy machinery and tools to fabricate custom braces and prosthetics. I work at a university hospital and we haven’t had a male resident in like 5 years.


Feel like this is just what the average autistic gym rat eats for leg day.
