Injury Josh Kennedy

[Double the Fist]

over-use injuries are alway problematic. hopefully its only mild.

Take my right elbow for example

 

[Prem87]

Is Kennedy's injury similar to Rutten's?

Same injury but there are varying degrees.

I've had plantar fasciaitis (or however the hell it's spelled) and you can overcome it with moulded inserts for running shoes and boots.

Snapped it today training.

Snapped what?

 

[jdisc]

[Chris_6678]

Kidding right? Is it bad??

 

[DrTomSwift]

Better not be true

Snapped tendon, off for two weeks but should be right first game.

snapped a tendon? would need surgery?

 

[Chris_6678]

Havent heard anything in the media about it yet??

 

[Double the Fist]

If he has snapped the plantar tendon that will have stability and muscular ramifications down the track, not good from memory

**** me, this is awful if true

 

[new breed]

Can he get a new one ??

Please let us know where you found this. I have had a look around and found no reference to it. Thanks.

Seems an over reaction.

Often the tendon ruptures without the attendant inflammation beforehand, that he has had for a few weeks.

I ruptured my plantar tendon playing basketball and was back in 10 days and I was almost 40 when I did it.

Not a big deal and no long term damage.

Or am I missing something?

There is a difference in snapping the tendon and actual fasciaitis (however its spelled) The fascia is the covering of the tendon and gets inflamed. Snapping the tendon I thought was real bad. Now im doubting my self.
Now, I'm just confused

From memory that's one of those tendons we no longer use, so snapping it will actually remove the discomfort while having no functional draw back, apart from the short term inflamation.

Yup - my thoughts as well.

A bit like the appendix - no major drama not having it.

From memory that was the tendon Robert Harvey tried to snap at home.

Snapping it is probably the best result to be honest. Should be cherry ripe for Round 1 with no further complications throughout the season.

I think, as stated by those above its more or less a non-issue cos it's a useless tendon. In my case the concern initially was that I ruptured by Achilles tendon but once it was confirmed that it was the plantar, then the doctor seemed pretty relaxed. Ice, rest and back without any other discomfort within a week or so ...

Assuming he is back within 2 weeks - will be interesting to see whether JK gets a run with East Fremantle to blow out some cobwebs

 

[Marlin01]

I still haven't come across any actual proof of this secondary injury. Anyone else?

Was thinking the same.....

He was seen in a medical centre in Perth yesterday on crutches and in a moon boot. I'm guessing he went the Robert Harvey option and tried to snap if on purpose. Should be right for round one still I'd tip, though he'll be underdone.
