Kenny Phillips-Giants *out for season*

[zrinkill]

well he drafted Roy Williams when he could've drafted Ed Reed for starters.

SO you did not think Roy was a good player when you had his name as your username?

Good.

Every little bit helps.

No, it is not good. If anything happens to T.R. or D.W. I will hold you personally responsible.

Sometimes it is really difficult being a Cowboys fan on this site.

Kenny Phillips has a big problem
13 m ago By Bob Glauber

The Giants' safety has been diagnosed with an ailment called patellofemoral arthritis, a knee problem that could wind up requiring microfracture surgery.

According to the Sinai Hospital (Baltimore) website, the problem affects up to 10 percent of the population, and patients often undergo multiple operations, only to end up with a severe disability. Among the operative approaches to deal with the situation:

1. Arthroscopic debridement
2. Microfracture articular restoration
3. Lateral release
4. Soft-tissue realignment of the extensor mechanism
5. Osteotomies of the tibial tubercle
6. Mosiacplasty/autologous chondrocyte implantation
7. Lateral patella partial facetectomy
8. Patellectomy (removal of the kneecap)
9. Total knee replacement

Wow. Some serious stuff here. Especially when you read this:

"While operative replacement of any portion of the knee joint is one of the last options,it is often the only good choice left when other treatments fail of result in increased pain. We have found a definite trend of more rapid recovery,better function, more predictable return to work,and decreased dependency on pain medication with this operation. Patients can become very depressed and socially drained by the stress of constant pain and ineffectual prior treatment. Patellofemoral replacement offers more predictable relief from these problems in our experience."

Sounds like Phillips will be lucky to get the microfracture surgery as a way of getting him back onto the football field.



Ouch. Sounds like a career threatener.

When my buddy whose a Giants fan was telling me about this yesterday I said that it sucked cause it sounds like something that could hamper him his entire career, if not end it early. That's a blow to the giants this year and possibly beyond. I hate to see that.

Do you know we could have had Tom Brady instead of Mario Edwards ?
True story.

I'm new here. Yeah I am also pretty upset about this injury. I feel bad for the kid, especially if this injury is indeed a career threatening one. He had a lot of upside and many projected a pro bowl and maybe an all pro type of season for him. The majority of the posts in this thread are classy and respectable. A few knuckleheads being glad it happened should be ashamed of themselves. Anyways, I hope he can come back next season full strength and ready to go.
