"Our physicians performed a successful tight-rope procedure on his right ankle this morning," Alabama coach Nick Saban said in a statement. "This is the same injury, but the opposite ankle that Tua injured last season. Tua will miss next week's game against Arkansas, but we expect a full and speedy recovery."
"What we do is we drill a hole from the fibula into the tibia and cast these tightropes through the bone and synch it down and tighten it," Waldrop told ESPN in 2018.
"What these tightropes do are stabilize the ankle. It holds that little bone in its home. It holds it still and stable enough that the bones don't want to spread apart."
YIKES
