Rodri Injury Updates | City say ligament injury (pg117)

My suspicion is it is not ACL.

Let us know when you get your independent analysis test results back.

ACL tears seem to mean that you can still walk normally. They mean that if you turn and put weight on your knee that the ACL missing means the knee doesn’t move in that turn and can make the leg collapse and tear other ligaments and tendons.

I completely ruptured my ACL about 5 years ago. I walked off the pitch. Apart from severe swelling and stiffness, I was able to walk around as normal.
By the time I had a scan and saw a surgeon - 16 months, I was mountain climbing.
The ACL is like a check strap on a car door. In normal use the muscles of the knee keep the joint stable, but under extreme loads the ACL keeps the joint from hyperextension. After a complete rupture, you're not supposed to play contact sports, as blows to the back of the knee can cause hyperextension - not checked by the ACL - and thus cause further knee injuries.
Having said that I play football - chill level - every week and have done for 3 years.
In a professional athlete they'll repair any damage to preclude future injury.

Fuck, reading this thread makes me feel like i’ve wandered in to a MASH triage tent !

We're a multi talented lot on BM mate. The incredible diagnostic and medical knowledge on this thread is matched only by the managerial expertise in the match day threads.

When the knee flanges in an unexpected splurge, the antereoid crucibode delves too deeply in the mange, causing a falley-over effect on grassy functions, with screamy-shout and hand waving. "Oohh, sore knee!" is often blouted from't oriface - in languages to suit - and then cry babies have tears of wept, and when it's a Rodri, 50,000 boo-hoos fillthe atmosplode. Joy absent, me afraid for 6 months or half annually, whatever floats your pedestal. "Bloody fuckin' hell, Tzikki, kuntwanking exec with your knittyjumper over your eyes!" said Peppy Gardiboland - more tears of not joy, we saw.
Oh well, it's tough in the beedlebode!
Hope this helps.

That's true. I think the only thing that sort of provides optimsm is that the doctors let him walk off. They would have done the preliminary ACL test than and if they feared it was torn I don't think they would have let him walk off. But that could also be wishful thinking.

I agree. In fact, I almost posted something similar.

I`m no GP but seeing Rodders actually walk off the park without a stretcher gives me a bit of hope.Would you be able to put down any weight bearing on it,if it was that bad ?
I don`t know the answer but a couple of you have had similar problems in the past.

Someome pointed out earlier that Van Dick walked off the pitch and it was a bad ACL injury.

We're all just playing a guessing game right now until all results are comfirmed.

I think we can all agree he's not back anytime that soon.

Don’t omit the construction industry please.

He has gone on strike, will be spending some time in Gibraltar.

Don't you feel so lucky?

God speed on his recovery mate

Cheers for that.

There are roughly three scenarios for Rodri's absence:

3-4 months: back in January/February
5-6 months: back in March/April
9 months: back Juni/July or next season

Given that there is substantive disagreement between doctors, Rodri and the club are hopeful that he can return to action in 4 to 6 months.

This suggests it's not a clear ACL tear. Might be a combination of other, less severe injuries, e.g. MCL, meniscus, etc.

 

[St Helens Blue (Exiled)]

Soft **** :-)
I did my.meniscus and didnt even realise for 12 months until IWent down like a sack of spuds reffing.
GEt well soon Rodders.

 

[The Lightbowne Cowboy]

Sounds like a difference of opinions?

Let's hope the specialist Dr Cuget is the one saying not so bad.

 

[Manchester_lalala]

I don’t understand how two doctors would diagnose an injury differently. Is Rodri being flown around Europe to see top knee surgeons in the hope of one saying he’ll be back in a month?

 

[Eccles Blue]

I like that Pep says safe recovery not speedy recovery. He is thinking of the player. That is the difference between a good manager and a great manager. People management and caring. IMHO

Either way, Lewis will be a very adequate deputy.

Weird part though is no attempt at a brace or crutches, which would normally mean it’s probably ACL related! Fuck knows, but we will find out today.

 

[Shazza458]

The uncertainty for me suggests it might be meniscus

The difference of opinions, in my opinion lol, will be what surgery is required - one might be saying repair, one might be saying reconstruction which would have longer recovery period.
