Is this the worst start to a season injury-wise in recent years? (Luey, Myers, Laverde, Ridley all out for a while, Hooker doubtful, Hurley & Hartley not great, probably more Iโm forgettingโฆ)โฆ
Iโve been doing some research about this injury and hereโs my amateurish appraisal. The injured tendon acts as a major stabliser for the entire ankle and other lessor tendons rely on the same injured tendon to function correctly. So, because this major tendon is damaged, thereโs possibility that lessor yet also important tendons may have too much movement. The question is โฆ How badly damaged is the tendon?? Maybe they wont know until surgery. Post surgeryโฆ Lav is likely to feel some form of irritation/ discomfort/ ongoing pain unless the surgeon nails the repair. I would say that there could be a likely need for additional tidy up surgeries at some point. It seems like a very nasty injury that shouldnโt be rushed at all.
Jayden had successful surgery this morning. Interesting to note Justin crow said they were tossing up between surgery or a conservative approach with a moon boot. Heโs glad they did surgery as they picked up another issue which they couldnโt see on their scans which was laverde medial ligament in his ankle had ruptured and they repaired that.
Does anyone have some relevant medical knowledge regarding how common it is for scans not to show injuries like ruptured ligaments? I have a long term injury which presents as a torn ligament but the scans and x-rays only show a bit of fluid and swelling. No one has a clue what the problem is.
I have a feeling they only did an x ray which I think doesnโt show ligament damage(?) But CT scans which they may have not done, would show what is wrong.
