Here is the pic DC showed on his phone:
The two midline frontal incisors and the right paracentral incisor of the mandible (teeth #24-26) have been fractured and separated from the remainder of the mandible. The posterior displacement suggests that he had to be rushed to the hospital because he was at risk of losing his airway (ie. suffocating because the broken jaw piece would block his oropharynx)
Here is a similar picture from the web:
And an x-ray of a more simple mandibular fracture:
The mandible tends to fracture in two places (like a lifesaver or a polo mint) because it is a bony ring:
It is the same type of injury that Kanye West suffered after his car accident, causing him to have his jaw wired shut and write his first hit single "Through the Wire".
This is probably what will happen to Rob (not the hit single and marrying a Kardashian, having his jaw wired shut). Khamzat literally crushed his jaw into three pieces like a lifesaver and with the force of a motor vehicle accident. I don't think Bobby will ever be the same.
Edit: As someone pointed out later in this thread, it may be an alveolar ridge fracture, not necessarily transcortical as I described above. This would mean a quicker return to baseline for Bobby. Still a devastating injury though.
Edit 2: Bobby posted an update today saying his teeth were pushed in, suggesting an alveolar ridge injury and that his mentum is still intact. If so, this is great news. He will be back at the end of 2025 I suspect.
