Aaron Ramsey injury update

[Invincible]

It will be good to see him picking up his winners medal without having the crutches on come seasons end.

 

[yuvken]

I don't know about this, so I would love someone to explain: isn't it a bit early for them to "encourage him to walk unaided" - as in the weight, the movement, etc? it happened a moth ago. The leg looked like this ^ ?

 

[Captain]

apparently the new surgical technique makes it possible; think it is explained somewhere in this thread.

 

[yuvken]

Found nothing here :|

If anyone can explain how that happens, I'd be most interested. In fact, it is hardly 3 weeks (!)
Looks like a long time. We just had so much drama since then, it looks like ages. But if we were told that week, when many of us were enraged, that he'd be coming to visit the guys walking on this - ^ - unaided, we'd probably consider that unbelievable.

 

[Zinc]

Its pretty shocking, in a good way. Wonder what this means for a timeline for this kinda thing

 

[ultradoc]

i had a ^ fracture of my femur as kid and i was instructed bed rest for 2months after the surgery. That was pretty long ago though,they used the plate and drill to fix it in place.

Bone takes longer than a month to grow back in a fracture. Perhaps bone grafting or other stimulating factors have been discovered now for quicker recovery.

Maybe it was somewhere else, I'll try to find it after the ManU game. It's something to do with inserting the metal bar down through the bone from the knee area.

News of the World medical expert, Dr Hilary Jones added: "I must say the operation carried out on Aaron is a pretty unusual, and reasonably recent, procedure. You would normally want to immobilise a broken bone for at least six weeks and, in the past, a cast was always put on or, at least, some kind of plastic walking boot. But with mid-shaft break of the tibia and fibula, as Aaron suffered, this is no longer necessary."

"If the fracture was near the knee or the ankle, he would almost certainly be in plaster. In the procedure, a nail or rod is slipped through the middle of each broken bone into the soft marrow area and used to unite the breaks. Because the nail is rigid it makes it stable enough to allow the person to walk on the leg without a plaster cast."

"A small incision will be made just below the knee of about ¾ of a centimetre and the nails will be run through the shaft of each of the broken bones. There will also be three little stab wounds put into the leg to help the surgeon manipulate the nails. In each case, the length of the rod will be about 2/3 the length of the bone."

"Because of the location of the fracture that will make it stable enough to walk around with crutches almost immediately."

 

[yuvken]

Cheers, captain. That looks like... operation Aaron, I think .

(I must say, that s*** is unbelievable)

 

[AliBabaBrewer]

Wait.. Does this make his leg pretty much indestructable now?

 

[thegame24]

They take the rods out after, i think.

 

[AliBabaBrewer]

LAME

 

[Jasard]

Theres only room for one Terminator.

 

[yuvken]

They take the rods out after, i think.

Errr... how?

 

[thegame24]

They take the rods out after, i think.

Errr... how?

lol not a doctor. No idea i just said i think they take out the rods.

 

[yuvken]

...step 3 a. Insert the rod into the tibia and lower all the way down.
:!: Make sure you hear the click sound for proper installation.

3b. repeat the action for the Fibula.

DO NOT REMOVE THE ATTACHED RED RIBBONS FROM EDGES.
loss of red ribbons may result in considerable difficulty when rods need to be removed.
In case the rod slips into the bone and no ribbon edge is visible, DO NOT STEP ON LEG, and consult
a licensed human spare part technician.

 

[IBL]

thats bloody insane, modern science eh?

 

[yuvken]

(I hope you didn't take the last bit seriously, Ice bergkamp )

 

[IBL]

it was such a good explanation i felt like believing it

We should do this to all our players as a precaution.
