I agree, and the staph infection made it impossible to heal correctly.
I don't think Drakes injury is anything close in comparison to Prothro.
No doubt, it was a gruesome looking injury, but it was an ankle, which bends in crazy ways naturally.
I tore an ankle up in high school, but it didn't break and the DR. told me I would have been better off if it had broken because it would have healed back stronger.
I know KD's was a nasty looking break, but hopefully he'll be just as fast and strong as before.
