Reggie Ragland to have knee surgery; out for season


Recommended Posts

I am completely for sites that allow freedom of expression and freedom from censorship. However it would be nice if people could occasionally self edit. The threads do get unwieldy in a hurry But usually an impressive amount of important Bills news gets told here first and that's what it's all about.

I would hope you are able to sift through the posts and get your hard data as needed.

I think the board offers a wide range of info , opinion , arguments , discussion and then some of us busting balls about obtuse comments such as;

 

"They shoot horses don't they "

 

Which was a book . Commenting on putting down lame horses and applying it conceptually to humans. Thank gosh we do not do that around here.

Optimistic take:

 

We could have 3 first round picks playing their first games for us next season.

 

Shaq, Reggie (we wanted him in the 1st so I'll consider him one), TBD

Haha unfortunately that's how i see it too.

 

 

But of course you do. Hey, it's probably Brandon who insisted the lid be kept on a season ending injury for fear losing our 2nd round LB would impact ticket sales.

I'll take trim over surgery every time.

Especially when there's swelling involved. :devil:

 

Once again; 2 Words.....Rusty Jones

Third and fourth words... is retired.

Clinical, MRI, and arthroscopic correlation in meniscal and anterior cruciate ligament injuries

 

The aim of this prospective study was to compare and correlate clinical, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and arthroscopic findings in cases of meniscal tear and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. MRI scan results and clinical diagnosis are compared against the arthroscopic confirmation of the diagnosis. One hundred and thirty-one patients had suspected traumatic meniscal or anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. Clinical examination had better sensitivity (0.86 vs. 0.76), specificity (0.73 vs. 0.52), predictive values, and diagnostic accuracy in comparison to MRI scan in diagnosis for medial meniscal tears. These parameters showed only marginal difference in lateral meniscal and anterior cruciate ligament injuries. We conclude that carefully performed clinical examination can give equal or better diagnosis of meniscal and ACL injuries in comparison to MRI scan. MRI may be used to rule out such injuries rather than to diagnose them.

How is it called getting a second opinion when the first is an MRI that's inconclusive?

Well, actually the Radiologist reads the images and gives a report to the orthopedic surgeon who analyzes the images, reads the report and forms his own opinion and recommends treatment options based on that analysis. So it could actually be a second or third opinion. That's my opinion.

That's just a tad bit long for a quotation. Next time please keep it to a sentence or 3.

 

Thank you

I second that opinion
