Augie Posted January 5 Posted January 5 9 minutes ago, SoMAn said: WNHS? East opened my senior year but I opted to finish up at South. St Joes, and it wasn’t a Thiesman type injury 🤮. It was just a scrimmage, and I limped for the rest of the year. I had no idea it was broken but I limped into the office of Dr Joyce, the Braves Doc who operated on the foot of my other leg. He said I had the wrong limp, sent me down for X-rays, and I got to tell my English teacher/trainer that the reason taping it higher didn’t work was….. I HAVE A BROKEN LEG! Who is the weenie now? OK, I feel better. Thank you for saving me the cost of therapy. 2 3 Quote

Guaranteed knee replacement down the line with a guy in his profession Interested to hear why you say this when Kyle has consistently said he’ll be fine once he recovers which takes a while. Quote

D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted January 5 Posted January 5 I got hit by a car and had the same injury many years ago. An old lady waved me in front of her and then accelerated. It was good thing I rolled out of collision. Took the whole summer to heal and then rehab well into the fall. Didn't need to run at full speed and absorb contact, but think I coulda played mens league hockey if it was a crucial game. 1 Quote

Beck Water Posted January 5 Posted January 5 (edited) 2 hours ago, Dablitzkrieg said: From the TBN article Trimble quotes: A key point here for all the "it'll heal in 8 weeks, why isn't he back?" folks, Milano confirms that he was prohibited to put any weight at all on the leg for 8 weeks, to avoid putting stress on the Tibial plateau. As often, Bangedup's article linked above gives a good explanation of what this is, why it's tricky, and why a prolonged period of no weight bearing is needed. Edited January 5 by Beck Water 1 Quote
flomoe Posted January 5 Posted January 5 I know he’s been on the sideline and walking around, but this injury takes at least 3-4 months for the bone to heal around the steel rod/screws that was most likely inserted into the bone. From that point, there’s a couple of months of rehab and learning how to walk again. The closer to the knee the break is, the trickier the speed of the recovery. He should be starting light treadmill work, maybe stairs but this isn’t a 4-6 week injury. Also, if anyone knows a surgeon who does this, inquire how this surgery is performed, it’ll explain why those surgeons are all very jacked. It’s not pretty!! 1 Quote

QB Bills Posted January 5 Posted January 5 So this pretty much officially kills any hope of him coming back this year. On second thought, that wasn't explicitly stated so I'm not accepting it yet. 1 Quote

Maybe, it didn't really address it at all, other than maybe the part about having a completely normal offseason of training if you infer it from that. Quote

What. Why do either of you think knee replacement is inevitable 1 Quote
