Clearly, you don't. In every doctors book Torn ACL = 4-6months, franzen was back exactly after 4months... if it's severe then say 6months, they would still be back for next season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NeverForgetMac25 483 Report post Posted February 11, 2010 Missing playoffs = more disaster than a player getting re-injured. You must be the team doctor from the movie "Any Given Sunday." In every doctors book Torn ACL = 4-6months, franzen was back exactly after 4months... if it's severe then say 6months, they would still be back for next season Most doctors state recovery time can be anywhere from 6-9 months. http://orthopedics.about.com/od/aclinjury/p/rehab.htm You're just stating its 4-6 because that was Franzen's particular case. His wasn't the norm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Howard He Do It?! Report post Posted February 11, 2010 Missing playoffs = more disaster than a player getting re-injured. Wouldn't you be the players' favorite team doctor. Player health is more important than the playoffs. Without the players there is no playoffs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AtomicPunk 296 Report post Posted February 11, 2010 All Wings players should be wrapped in bubble wrap and confined to their hotel rooms until the season starts again. All sharp objects and breakable things should be removed from their areas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All sharp objects and breakable things should be removed from their areas. No one is saying that. What most of us are saying is that when you are dealing with a player who has suffered an MCL injury and has missed significant time because of that injury and who has re-injured that same knee, you don't rush him back to the ice.

CenterIce 83 Report post Posted February 11, 2010 Management instead relied on Tre Kronor doctor Bjorn Waldebäck, who stated that the general time frame of recovering from anterior cruciate ligament surgery is six months of healing. In Detroit, however, there is a completely different idea of how long it takes to heal: "I heard that someone there in Sweden, I do not know who, said that he (Franzen) can not possibly be ready after three months." "That person is obviously in total ignorance of basic science when it comes to reconstructions of this kind, "said William Clancy when Sport-Expressen reached him at his clinic in Alabama, shortly after he completed a surgical procedure. "Operated a hundred times" He states that he has operated on numerous athletes, including many hockey players: "I've done it on hundreds of athletes, and we have been lucky too: We have never encountered a case where the transplant [of part of a ligament from the healthy knee to damaged knee] failed. This does not mean that it could not happen, but the result would be the same after three months or after six months," says Clancy. Had expected a call He lists the names of Chris Chelios, Vladimir Malakhov, Sandis Ozolinsh and Niklas Kronwall. Every player, according to him, played hockey about three months after surgery. "I can give you a list of every player who came back after three months using this method." http://blog.mlive.com/snapshots/2010/02/ne...rthopedist.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dat's sick 1,002 Report post Posted February 11, 2010 All Wings players should be wrapped in bubble wrap and confined to their hotel rooms until the season starts again. All sharp objects and breakable things should be removed from their areas. Breakable things? You mean like their arms and legs and feet? Just cut them off and stitch them back on when the season starts? Interesting idea but I'm not sure the players would be up for that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
