I broke mine as a young player. I was never the same player again. It brings home to you how easily bones are broken. Mine was more clumsiness on the part of my opponent than malice but I was never as confident in my ability after that. I ended up trying to protect the leg I'd broken, tackling with the wrong leg etc. When I broke it a second time about a year later that was that.
I hope the lad gets over it - some do, some don't.
