"We wanted to reattach the avulsion injury there.”According to Dr. Cooper and the Chiefs’ team physician, however, everything involved with this injury was fully correctable; Burkholder noted they had found no artery, nerve, joint-surface or meniscal damage

My daughter had a chipped piece of articular cartilage that progressively tore until it was protruding into the joint and causing subluxation in flexion but that's different from a complete dislocation. Doctor said mpfl tears are common with complete dislocation but said there was a chance a repair could still be needed in her case. Thankfully mpfl was fine and all they had to repair was rekeying the chipped cartilage back in place. They never mentioned anything about possible arterial damage, scary stuff.
9 hours ago9 hr ONE MORE WIN. They can do it. Don't worry about anything but Saturday. It's time to end the streak and bring it back to Philadelphia.

Especially considering he tore his LCL also.Rehab consists of a wide range of things, he could be doing red light therapy to speed up healing and that would be rehab.

8 hours ago8 hr 10 hours ago, T-1000 said:Homeboy is wrong. The NFL has a talent evaluation problem when it comes to QB's. They get over drafted every year.I'd argue it's a development problem, because teams expect rookies to come in and play well immediately to save an awful franchise. A number of "busts" also go to poorly run organizations like the Jets and are doomed to fail. We've seen Darnold and Geno Smith, who were considered busts, leave the Jets and go on to become solid QB's. Geno was solid in SEA, went to the Raiders, and now he stinks again lol. Of course there's always going to be teams that simply evaluate poorly (Pickett, Richardson) but I'd say QB's failing falls more on poor coaching/poorly run organizations.

In medical terms a dislocated patella is just that- a dislocated patella. When we hear dislocated knee we are thinking something different. In medical terms, a dislocated knee refers to the tibio-femoral joint. That is actual entire knee joint itself. That means that at a minimum you've torn the ACL and PCL. And its very bad.

Not to say there isn't a talent evaluation problem as well but I believe most of the reason is because most QBs drafted in the top 10 are going to horribly run organizations. The next QB that goes to the raiders? Screwed. Browns? Screwed. Cardinals? Screwed. Titans are going to ruin Cam Ward, not that he would've been HOF but he could easily be a solid starter

A guy slipped and fell, and when I looked down at him, his kneecap moved up to his thigh area...it looked so painful I almost got sick.
