Jack dunking

[visionary]

The story all along is that his cartilage is separating from the bone. Multiple stories have been written and Jack himself said he has been told microfracture is a consideration. Yes, Dr. Andrews has come out and said in the last few days he doesn't need microfracture surgery immediately. Doesn't change the fact that he is at risk.

Andrews said he does not heed microgravity surgery

The meniscus doesn't come back.

He is on his way back from a meniscus tear.

There is no coming back is my point. He can come back from the ligament damage but the meniscus does not regenerate. Microfracture produces a kind of scar tissue.

He can recover from the rest of it but the meniscus can only get worse barring surgery.

Ok let me try one more time.

He is rehabbing from a meniscus injury.

And let me try again. There is no rehabilitating a meniscus injury. That condition will not improve.

The ligaments he tore are what rehab is for.

At 6'1" the average NFL athlete doesn't dunk with ease. Even some great college basketball players at 6'1" don't dunk with ease.



Cole Beasley dunks with ease.

First I have heard anyone say he tore ligaments.

I was under the impression he tore his meniscus. The typical care for this is to cut the torn part out and recovery is very short. Here is info on Jack's surgery:

In this case, this is rehabilitating a meniscus injury.

The long term issue is with the cartilage in his knee. He has an osteochondral defect, where the cartilage is separating from the bone. Per this article.

As far as the Dr. Andrews report, my understanding is that Dr. Andrews is saying he doesn't need microfracture surgery now. It doesn't mean he won't need it in the future, and given the documented osteochondral defect, it is more likely that he will need it compared to someone without it. As far as I am concerned, it makes no difference because we didn't draft him.

Yeah I misread it. He tore his anterior meniscus not his ACL. Regardless he is recovering from reattaching the meniscus which requires it to be mounted to bone. The meniscus itself won't regenerate.

My original comment:



Has been relevant the whole time. Not sure why you decided to make this into an argument. I never once said the meniscus was healing. I never said the meniscus would regenerate. I think you were looking for an argument I wasn't trying to make. I simply said he's on his way back from tearing it. I never said it would regenerate or really any other remarks about who/how/when/where/why/if he would heal. I only went into that in order to fulfill another posters request for info about Jack--which I did.

I just agreed with you in that post stating I misread. We're both right it seems. A misunderstanding no big deal.

Good looking out. It's all good. FTR, I deleted that post last night when I realized how it came across. Didn't mean to be that snarky haha.
