Norcal Posted January 30 Author Report Share Posted January 30 So, what was the injury? Not the achilles and not the knee so, ankle? I'm not sure if there is anymore info out yet but I wonder what the actual injury was? I suppose we'll hear soon enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know if it was his L or R Achilles that he was recovering from, but him doing that made me think he re-injured himself in the same spot. Left achilles 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that there was surgery and an ~8 week timetable, I inferred that it was maybe a fibula fracture (but no tibia). Have our resident MD’s weighed in? If it’s a lower leg/ankle fracture, that should be a clean, complete recovery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyldnwoody44 Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 8 weeks is about normal for a lot of things. Bone fractures are typically a 6-8 week time frame, but what was the surgery? Was it a minor procedure they dub "surgical" did they have to pin or plate the area. Could there have been a tendon/ligament issue that they threw a holding suture in place to allow it to heal in 8 weeks. The therm surgical is always tough to decipher, because even something as small as a local anasthtic and relatively superficial repair is still touted as surgery. In my opinion, it probably was a fracture of the ankle, a bimalleolar would be preferred to a trimalleolar (which includes the tibia) and those are always surgical to repair as the ankle is broken and dislocated and are very unstable until fixed. We don't see surgery for simple fibular fractures so my brain goes to a worse injury. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Guava Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 Quinn expected to be out 8 weeks after surgery. Probably the best case scenario with how bad it looked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's different in kids because of growth plates. They grade them as salter-Harris fractures. Those are much more surgical than someone who has fully matured bones. Now, there are always caveats. Professional athletes and certain breaks require different care, it's all situational. The fact we heard nothing and then a surgical outcome means Jack should absolutley be shut down for the rest of the year. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall the doc saying "Weber B" and "unstable," for sure. [Homer voice] Stupid unstable Weber B. And I take your imparted lesson: These are all situational.

If it's an 8 week injury it's an 8 week injury. 8 weeks doesn't mean it's fully healed, sure on an xray, but the surrounding ligaments, plus conditioning. Also the sabres aren't making the playoffs, so take the extra time, rehab, strengthen the surrounding muscles to take the stress of the already injured area and hit it hard next year. 3 hours ago, That Aud Smell said: Lol - I said "kid," but didn't mention she was 21 at the time, injured while playing college ball.

You don't want to risk him injuring himself seriously again with less than ten games left. A whole summer to rehab himself and you have a new, completely healed Quinn. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
