I have dealt with it in the realm of representing people hurt in MVA crashes.
Most often, it occurred from slamming on the brake pedal. One case involved the firewall/floor buckling up and another was due to the driver seat sliding forward forward and severing the achiles tendon.
None of my clients were ever the same. I saw one about five years ago and she said that despite surgery, it just never fully healed right.
Hard to see a 39 year-old quaterback comming back...
