Petracca hair line fracture - Triple M

[The Swans Blog]

On radio Saturday morning Petracca went in for an MRI with his other sore Dees team mates and it's reported he suffered a badly corked calf and a hair line fracture of the fibula.

Sauce: Triple M

Ooof! That sucks

Gawn is the skipper and public face of the club. Oliver is the most consistent. But Petracca is the match winner.
Gonna be mighty tough for the Dees without Trac, or with him parked up forward, jabbed up and operating at 50%

Funny how this happens sometimes. Looking at the incident you would think both players would come away from it completely uninjured.

 

[LSRU]

Stay out of the protected area and it doesn’t happen.

Guys do play through these - if you win (or lose badly haha) it becomes ‘a broken leg’ in footy lore.

Is it worth risking your playing future when you'll most likely be losing the prelim final anyway ?

Break the leg Fyfe style and never recapture your best form.... AND fail at defending the premiership, would be a bad way to end the year.

His season should end now.

 

[JackFlash]

The Dees would be insane to play him again this year, not after what we just saw with these games. Petracca is done for 2022, it's a 6-8 week injury.

Not at 100% and one small knock can end the season. It's a big risk, but I can understand why he is going for it.

Fibia isn't weight bearing. Biggest risk is that the bone becomes displaced and the foot tendons become lax.

They will strap the hell out of the ankle, jab it up so he can't feel it and try and keep the bleeding around the injury down as much as possible so there isn't a compartment syndrome.

What is your medical profession and what region do you operate?

This is an injury I'm quite familiar with.

I'm not an orthopaedic surgeon.

 

[Taylor]

It's not the bleeding of the muscle within the fascia that I'd be expecting, it's the area around the soft tissues filling and it will effectively feel the same as compartment syndrome.

The risk of further damage is pretty high. It's not like playing with a plate on your metacarpal. I'm not saying he can't, I am asking whether he should.

Well that means the dees are done.

Yeah on the radio they were basically saying that it won't stop him playing per se, but it's a matter of how well they can jab him up and have him push through the pain.

Correct
I can also steer you to the Covid thread where Big Footy has a surprising number of qualified epidemiologists amongst its cohort

 

[campbell]

Duty of care to Petraca, says he should not play.

So
he will.


I wonder if he does have anything wrong, could this be pre game crap.

Melbourne do lie about things.

I'm a surgeon and can say yes we are all doctors or surgeon here.

Pectrecca is free to play with a broken leg.
Thank you and have a nice day

Stay out of the protected area and it doesn’t happen.

I still can't believe not one of the commentators so much as raised the question of whether he was in the protected zone.

It was pretty much a textbook example of why the AFL want that area free so players can wheel around and play on.

It happens that often. Once the mark is set the umpires no longer give a **** if the opposition wander into the protected area.

It should be a dead zone and anyone in the area is a dead player until the ball is cleared. Exception being the player on the mark.

Well tell me how you feel about that?

or are you one of those people who dont think psychologists are real doctors?
