Fracture Review: Why Did J.T. Barrett and Ezekiel Elliott Require Surgery?

After suffering a right ankle fracture in the Michigan game this past November, J.T. Barrett underwent surgery. In February, two screws were removed from his ankle.

Ezekiel Elliott suffered a left wrist fracture during the preseason camp last August. After having two surgeries on this wrist, Elliott recently shared he has been medically cleared.

Having these two stars on the mend is great(!) news for Buckeye Nation, so in light of the excitement, I will discuss fractures and why certain ones (like J.T. and Zeke’s) need surgery, while other fractures do not.
