Is there any same kind of injury record in NHL who had ACL surgery? Does this have affect his develope curve?
He sounded fine post game, no one mentioned him limping, and he played 19+min without any sign of discomfort. As of now.....it doesnt sound like its a death sentence. Hopefully this is just precationary
Fabbri came back really quick from the injury. Maybe too quick. It is often a 12 month rehab. Hopefully just swelling/scar tissue and either rest or scope to clean up. As long as he didn't retear ligament, this is a setback but isn't necessarily awful.
ACL surgery and recovery has come a long way.
His procedure used a bone tendon bone graft with the donor being his patellar tendon. That has an extremely low failure rate compared to the artificial/cadaver/hamstring harvest methods of the past. Most high level athletes are back to full rehab within 6 months now.
Chances are it’s swollen and they are just taking precautions as we do technically have time to be bought with it being preseason.
The fact there was no obvious injury or signs of injury after the game means a failure of the graft is very very low.
Sounds like you are familiar with the procedure. The other day they talked about him not practicing and some possible scar tissue. Would a MRI show this? Seems like doctors only giving him a 10 day re-evaluation timeframe is a positive thing on the grand scheme of things.
Scar tissue is definitely visible on mri. It is present but only serves to make seeing healthy tissue or acute injuries tougher to see. It’s not really something like a ligament that is an organized linear structure it just fills in everywhere. Particularly over the incision site.
From my experience with ACLs you’re going to know if it’s torn just on exam alone. But if there’s enough swelling that can mask joint laxity.
If they are waiting ten days he’s not torn. That timeline would be much more rapid, he would have had an mri this weekend and they’d know the course of action.
I suspect he’s just sore as heck, swollen and tight and they are resting him for the games that matter.
To be remembered though, they said yesterday was a planned maintenance, then today they release this statement, so the blues aren’t above lying about his condition even if they know he needs to have acl revision.
Sucks for the kid. Almost can't cant believe it, but I can because it's the Blues.
Hopefully this isn't serious. If it is, I'm worried about his career. He's a great player but if there's one thing that can hold him back...injuries.
If I was the Blues I'd start looking at outside help. Right now we are relying on about 4 forwards to carry the load. I saw a projected lineup today that had both Sobotka and Jaskin on the 2nd line, and Oskar freakin Sundqvist was centering our 3rd line. Yikes. This cannot happen.
