Kennelly's Knee

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Does a dislocated knee cap usually keep players out for a long time? Is there any chance that the scans will reveal that it's not as bad as first thought?

I believe Cressa missed 0 when he bashed his back in. But for sane people, I'm not sure.

heh heh, good comment
i heard kennelly had tried to whack his back in today

i think kennelly's been carrying either a knee or shoulder injury, and when he went down today i thought ht was holding his shoulder when the trainer came on
look, we've had to endure a series of injuries in the past season or so, a couple of them to the irishman
we just have to adjust and move on, and with malch back it might work out okay
spose we'll know more in the next few days but he looked pretty shattered and in serious pain

It's the Kenneski curse, both of them just can't play together.

Now we have to look forward to the Mattneski combo.

Well, you've given them a combined name now, so they're doomed.

Thanks!

 

[grimlock]

Oh, is that how it works?

I can't wait for the combo of Bevthews next week.
Or how about that PlayRT, they're pretty good.

Yup, saw Kennelly bashing his knee cap back into place. It was a gross sight.

Didn't he also dislocate his shoulder earlier in the game, and one of the trainers just popped it right back in?

Yep

I remember the Cressa incident so well.Does anyone know if there is footage
of the incident on youtube or something. Just to show our younger posters?

Cannot find it, but I remember it so vividly. Such determination. He played the following week too!

He repeatedly whacked his knee with a fist to ry and get it back in but dont think he had any luck. He did dislocate a shoulder a some point to and the medicos just popped it in again. Then he did the knee

Jeeze,the luck of the Irish,does not relate to our Tadgh. Maybe he should go
back to Ireland in his recovery and kiss the Blarney Stone.

I wanted the three pronged defensive attacking unit. It was gonna be gun

As for time off, I think Tiges will have to take a max. of 2 weeks off to help the bruising go down, but this kind of injury seems to happen to him a lot, so I won't be surprised to not see him back for 3 matches this time if the medico's reckon it'll help him in the long run.

Tadhg isn't one to stay away from the game longer than he has to, though ..

Think a long rest will do him good,keep's playing not fully fit and now seem's to getting hurt when he does play..

i hate to see our players get hurt


but i guess everyones just getting old (dont take that wrong)

[SOPH_CROSS]

[is2SWaNz]

Amazing Cressa didn't miss any games after that.

The guy was a true warrior and my 2nd favourite Swans player of all time. (Behind Kelly of course)

Cressa. So brave and gutsy. Though being a total nutjob helps in this regard sometimes .

 

[DeadlyAkkuret]

By the look on his face, I think that probably hurt.

Dislocated knee caps can vary greatly in recovery time. I have dislocated mine 6 times now and I can't play footy again unless I get a full reco . Depending on the extent of damage to the ligaments he should be walking normally within a week and then able to do a bit of running in a couple of weeks however you have to put in a lot of work strengthening the muscles around the knee without putting too much stress on it that the ligaments repair and reattach themselves properly. During this period you can definately play footy but you run a very high risk of it reoccuring unless you allow enough time for it heal. When you do it badly there can also be damage to the actual bone which makes the kneecap slip out easier (which was the case with me) and in these circumstances can require a full reco.

Just by looking at Tadgh today it didn't look like the kneecap had slipped all the way around so I'm guessing it's not a severe dislocation but as I have said these injuries vary greatly in recovery time. At a guess he'll be out for 3-4 absolute minimum and could be as bad as 9-10 weeks.

If the damage isn't too severe (ligaments intact etc) he could be back any time over the next month. But it will depend on how much swelling he has in the area. A big issue with this type of injury is pain management as well. It hurts a lot.
