Would guarantee that you are correct. No one around here has a clue into the sports med world, the strength/power training world and the numerus references to books co-written by IU and major PT and MLB orthos refeenced, no one around here has a clue how to reference any of them.

Inablity to investigate, only in your dim world, is inability to corroborate.


wow what is that allabout?

:eek:

Deej, let it go.

Kid, how do you form such a warm fuzzie relationships over the internet?
You don't know how dangerous your advice may be.
If your dating online, expect the run-around.

Damn, Garth, you are a mind (forum) reader. That's exactly what IU posted. :

My bad, I forgot, your Garh's Email Boi, you send him our posts so he can read them so he doesn't have to admit his Ignore List isn't on.

HAHAHAHA! Do you realize what a joke that is?

Hmm, prolly not come to think of it. :confused:

No books by IU? Glory be! Any by BM? Or STFU?

I tell you what. You PM me, I'll accomodate. Not going to post them here and have them deleted for the umpteenth time, thx, but no thx.

Btw, I have given this info out to a half dozen here on the forum already. Contact any of them instead.

Reference? What are you blithering about? Refer to what? You need an anotomy chart?

There. better now? :confused:

Osgood-Schlatter, the most difficult to work with. Parents, and their young athletes, want "overcome" this ailment when the only cure for this disease is extended rest. This means "off the feet" rest not "toting your 15 pound knapsack full of school books" type rest. Swelling drops quickly and up-dosages of NSAIDS/AIFs serve to give false impressions of good news.

Patellar dislocations - almost always misdiagnosed (incorrectly prescribed) as a strength balancing issue. Not so, it is a neuromuscular incognizance, a feedback of the nervous system gone wary. The body-brain doesn't locate the foot strike properly, usually coincides with some type of inability to determine in 3D space where one (foot) exists. Upon landing, the feedback is either incorrect (firing of the wrong muscular sequences) or the anticipation (see referenced space determination issue) is inaccurate. Either, the patellae is pulled out of the knee notch alignment (not good, very painful, reoccurrence guaranteed).

Meniscal tears - Never had one that couldn't be managed without surgery unless the tear was post-operative casualty. You can take that to mean whatever you wish.

:D
Typically, I find that the world of science, scientific research, studies, citations and even the occassional abstract of greater value than WebMD. YMMV and apparently it does.

ok

I have accomodated your requests. This post of yours above, seriously, I haven't the foggiest what the heck it means. If you will excuse me, I will ignore it.

A diagnosis
 

Whatever Osgood. RIF Schlatter. The most difficult to work with, yeah right. :)

Noped. Checked all the appropriate names: Ima Phakir, I.B. Lion, Walter Rucker.

Nothing comes up.

Name two.

This here is the postings of a drunk. Adios, El Drunko.

Nothing on that bastion of scientific info on WebMed? Try Dr. Kildare, or Dr. Phil or Dr. Doctor, get back to me ASAP. :rolleyes:

Knee Injury
 

I have had six knee operations (3 on each) and had the right knee reconstructed. The rehab time really depends on how well your knee/leg is in shape prior to the surgery. At your age your down time (scope only) should be no longer than 2-3 weeks max. If you have it reconstructed (replace the ACL) then the rehab time is about 6-9 months, depending on how often you rehab it.

Why would they?

The poster is correct, the physical condition of the patient has a great influence on recovery.

The terms "rehab" and "downtime" need to be construed within the patient's considerations. For instance, typical PT is designed to bring the typical surgical patient (knee of the OP e.g.) upright and mobile. There may be continued swelling, quadriceps weakness (visible from muscular degeneration and atrophy), limping, etc. The patient could return to work which is one of the common milestones in knee rehabilitation.

Dealing with athletes (my experience level almost entirely), we have a much different set of problems, physical conditions and end results as goals.

An umpire is an athlete. Let me rephrase. Umpires in our organizations are required to be athletic to call 60/90 baseball. This means highly mobile with one milestone being able to get distance on fly ball calls (from A) and to cover 2B from PU.

The set of goals, as you can see, are quite different than the typical office worker and the use of the term "rehab" has come to mean "post rehabilitation" to us.

Managed medicine determines, for those who use insurances to pay for PT, the length and breadth, often the prescription itself, of PT. Post-rehab is not managed, it is fee based not funds based and is is often the realm of the science-based strength and power trainer who is almost always the proper professional for the athletic post-rehabilitation patient/athlete.

Alex: From what I've seen in this thread, there isn't a doctor or medical expert present. Please select a good primary physician, get references on surgeons and seek second opinions on any advice regarding surgery.

For PT, make sure your surgeon remains actively involved in evaluating both the program and your progress.

Any further questions? Don't ask them here. See your doctors.
