It'd be ironic if the evolution of tackling technique to lessen the likelihood of slamming someone's head into the turf has led to a situation where there's now more twisting force applied to knees, ankles, etc.

Is Hutchy the orthopod looking after Zak? If so, he's in good hands.If anyone would get him right in 5, it would be the combination of Butters and Dr. Hutchinson. He's brutal on the rehab front. He'll be straight out of that moonboot and walking around even if it's causing huge pain to Zak to walk unassisted. He basically gives 24 hours of rest, then it's straight into moving it and doing basic mobilization exercises. He'll be taking a few steps on it a day after the surgery. He wont allow it to be immobilized for longer than that because it just hurts long term mobility.
Riley Bonner (hamstring) – 4-6 weeks
Zak Butters (ankle) – Indefinite
Xavier Duursma (knee) – Indefinite
Tyson Goldsack (knee) – 4-6 weeks
Jake Pasini (shoulder) – 10-12 weeks
Tom Rockliff (concussion) – Test

Yeah funny that hey.******* Edwards both times
Orthopod? Like a spider? Oh no wait, that's an arthropod.
Sportsmed??????He is the club surgeon so pretty certain it would be, especially since they went to sportsmed.
Sportsmed??????
JFC I hope not.
Their reputation in the medical profession is atrocious.
Get as far away from them as is humanly possible.
Know two people who went in there for regulation minor knee surgery. Both ended up with life treatening blood clots that required months of rehab and blood thinning medication. RAH staff (my wife was an anaesthetic nurse there) say specialists they talk to recoil in horror when you mention the name Sportsmed!
Powell-Pepper isn't suspended.
Jeez. The rehab for a sore body doesn't sound like fun.

Off the tableWhat is he then?
Think you'll find almost all surgery done on AFL Footballers, SANFL footballers and professional athletes both male and female in SA, is done at Sportsmed.
Even bodybuilders who need to repair pectorals etc. Go there.
There was a looming bogeyman about staph infections there as there were a few in a short period of time but that was like 10 to 15 years ago.
I've had surgery there and the missus has had two ankle surgeries there and a mate of mine had a shoulder reco there too. All great experiences and great results and follow ups.
Each to their own I guess. Surgeons good enough for million dollar athletes, good enough for me personally.

" get him back into the team "I'm really concerned by what Chad means by "get him back." Sounds like he might be cancelled.
