Lol Dr Larkins, has he ever been right?

Bt - "Whats happening down there Doc, looks like hes picked an injury up"

Doc - "Yes BT, it looks serious, could be a broken leg"

**3 minutes pass**

BT - "Any update on the leg injury down there Doc?"

Doc - "Yes BT, seems like it was just a knock to the forearm, hes back on"

 

[parmy2balmey]

is larkin the one that shoots himself up with botox and bruce’s utensil?

 

[blaisee]

Larkin is right

PCL injuries are much less prevalent than ACL, and therefore riskier.

ON a 7 yr contract you would hope our medical team are all over this

Going by the comments from the club....when we got him, he was going to be good for rnd 1, maybe a few practice games, and now it's 'hopefully rnd1', and let's face it, the club isn't known for being up front about such things.

My guess is he's going to miss the first few rounds, and I wouldn't be shocked if he played a game of two of VFL (limited game time/help him get back up to speed).

 

[Shazza_]

round 13

 

[DontArgue4]

round 13

Round 21 and then will kick 5 goals a game from that point on and we win the flag

 

[parmy2balmey]

i heard he has knee cancer and his patella is riddled with monkey aids

 

[captain blood 17]

The actual article is click bait. Big call from Doc Larkins - he may not get back to his best. Wooooo, gutsy call Doc.

Based on ZERO, NIL, ZILCH actual evidence.

Based on ZERO, NIL, ZILCH actual evidence.

It’s just negative press. Nothing actually in it, but just another “worst case scenario” article. Just like the other one where Ellis is the headline about not starting contract talks until after the bye. But go look at the way it’s written and what is actually entailed in it. Again, negative focus.

Should we be concerned?

Richmond recruit Tom Lynch may never get back to his best after PCL surgery, Dr Peter Larkins fears

Leading sports physician Dr Peter Larkins says Tom Lynch’sprolonged PCL knee struggles have potentially put the Richmond recruit at risk of never getting back to his best.
Lynch missed the last three games of 2017, a month in early 2018 and didn’t play after Round 14 — going under the knife when rest failed to cure his knee pain at the Gold Coast Suns.
“At his best he’s obviously a really good player, but sometimes there are injuries that mean guys never get back to their best and you recruit them thinking you’re going to be a genius,” Larkins told the Herald Sun.

“Clubs are sometimes more optimistic than they need to be on certain things.”
Lynch remains determined to face Carlton in Richmond’s season-opener, but this week conceded: “I’m not sure”.
Jarryd Roughead, Luke Hodge, Cyril Rioli, Grant Birchall and Nakia Cockatoo have all undergone PCL operations in recent years, with varying degrees of success.
PCL surgery, while refined by modern medicine, is still considered rare given the complexity and risks with the procedure.

“Lynch is interesting because if he turns out to be a Luke Hodge, who we’ve almost forgot had one, he’ll be fine,” Larkins said.
“But you look at Lynch and it was a case of will-he or won’t-he (have surgery) and as the months go on the knee usually gets more wear in it and more cartilage damage.
“So even though you might have a PCL operation to make the knee stable, athletes have often got advanced change in the knee by the time you do it so the soreness continues afterwards. The secondary damage to the joint surface and cartilage is already established.

“Quite often clubs are leaving it a long time before they get it done. You can tighten the PCL looseness, but if you’ve got cartilage damage, that is what’s irreversible.”
Lynch, 26, joined Richmond as a restricted free agent, signing a seven-year deal to partner Jack Riewoldt in Damien Hardwick’s forward line.
The Tigers have cautiously eased him into their pre-season program and already ruled him out of both JLT Community Series pre-season matches.

“If you took 50 knee surgeons in Melbourne and asked how many do ACLs I reckon 50 will put their hand up. (But) if you ask those 50 how many do PCL reconstructions you might find four or five put their hand up,” Larkins said.
“The PCL is totally different from the ACL in the sense it runs in the opposite direction. Everything in surgery is back to front so it’s more tricky.

“In our Epworth Hospital network between 2016-2017 we did 1,730 ACL reconstructions and we’ve done around 14 PCLs so there’s the sign.
“Clearly the successful ones are the ones we like to talk about, but the problem is there’s a whole bunch that are slow.”
The Tigers face the Blues at the MCG on March 21 with Lynch desperate to make his Richmond debut in the traditional blockbuster.
“I don’t know if Round 1 is realistic because Round 1 is less than four weeks away,” Larkins said.
“It will come down to him being really confident and ready to go and not having a setback, because you only get one go at it.”

To summarise the whole article:

Peter Larkins:"Is he going to get back to his best? He may or may not. I'm not sure."

 

[Muddiemoose]

Turns out if you have surgery you might have ongoing pain in the area.... who would of guessed

 

[Drofder]

Good intel. Good intel. I'd just like to add to that intel by advising that Cazza is training the house down at the moment. Just sayin....

LOL, is this the same Doc Larkins that declared that Troy Chaplin had done an ACL and would be gone for 12 months, only for Chaplin to return to the field 5 minutes later and play out the rest of the season.

 

[Funky Chicken]

Just shows what a backwater club the Suns are for getting him to play through it early last year. Amateur hour.

And they wonder why their departure lounge is full every trade period.
