Injury 2024 Injury Thread

[yakamoto]

We’ll know a bit more tomorrow when the injury list comes out. I expect both to be TBA.
I note that Freddy only had 65% Tog. Being managed? Hopefully just precautionary.

This fits the mechanism best, but grade 2 ACL (“partial tear”) is really uncommon, so won’t be surprised if they repeat MRI in a few days once swelling has settled.

Mitch Lewis at the Hawks did a grade 2 iirc about 2 years ago with similar mechanism, albeit it wasn’t as ugly

 

[Ragtooth]

On a positive note he will be able to spend more time with his pregnant partner which could be great for both of them. If we make finals we'll see him again!

When are they due? It is a positive spin!

Yeah I’m sure we’ll get a better timeline once both have had their surgeries.

 

[Paracleet]

Alliteration in the the injury thread? Oh you better believe that's a paddlin'

 

[Taylor]

Does anyone have any experience with those heat/cold treatments on a loose ACL to tighten them up?

Lax ACL treatment to shorten/tighten

 

[s_wd6]

She’s due in a week.

That’s definitely a silver lining then. Don’t have to worry about travelling interstate and the Adelaide hub in a couple weeks.

Hopefully she is a little late to give his hammy time to heal post opso he can help with the baby duties.

 

[The Feeder Club]

Hopefully the baby gets mum's hamstring genes

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

I'm feeling optimistic on Omac. Hopefully back within 6 weeks and Draper can get some games while Ryan holds the KPD fort till then.

JL hinted at flexible players in the AFL360 interview as well

vibes from s_wd6 and the knee will be like a fire cracker in a tissue box.

 

[Ragtooth]

She’s due in a week.

That's actually epic!!! Those first few months are killer! Perfect opportunity for partner support and 1st time dad adjustment, it can be rough. Small win for him.

Probably better to have a working hammy as a new dad though.

he looked pretty good when he kicked that goal

Jesus?

Lax ACL treatment to shorten/tighten

I have no info but doesn't sound useful. It's difficult to imagine that externally applied hot/cold would change the temperature of an ACL much, if at all, and harder to imagine that it would actually bring about change of any signifcance if it did.

What I saw was delivering the treatment to the ACL directly via arthroscopy.

Thermal Shrinkage for Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Repair

The ACL is a band of tough, fibrous tissue that stabilizes the knee. Injuries to the ACL are very common—especially among athletes. Most often, the injury happens when the knee is forced beyond its normal range of motion.

The real question is whether ACL injuries require any surgical intervention at all.

I don't necessarily agree with it, but there is a massive push towards non-operative management going on at the moment coming from a few specialist physios in Perth.

Similar to ankle outcomes being similar post op for one repair as they are just letting it heal by itself or are you talking about strength surrounding the joint making the need for the ACL less - I'm sure we've all seen people who popped their ACL in their teens and never had it fixed who are running around park footy seemingly just fine
