Newman Has surgery...

[America's Team]

o god is it time to panic?

i just hope he knows when he gets back he wont get his starting spot back just like that.....i hope we keep him in nickel this guy is just way to injury prone.......Pac deserves to start...let him n henry battle it out..if need be....

in my eyes i love Newman.....but he is no longer the cowboys number 1 corner....and he can thank his constant injuries for that...Pacman is the better corner...

this coming from a Newman homer......

thats a "sky is falling" post if I ever seen one

Why is it that when we sign a defensive player to a big contract in the off-season he seems to relax or get hurt, not the same player after getting paid.

I hope Newman does not turn into RW performance....sucks to have that much money tied up in two players that are getting old and not performing.

About 10 years ago i had the same problem. What we call in Germany a "soft groin" is basiclly the same as a sports hernia. Before i had surgery i informed myself about possible treatments and there are basically only two ways to treat this injury (operativ).

First one is a new method and it's based on minimal invasive surgery. The surgeon only has to make 2 small cuts both about 1/2 inch long. Through those holes he implants two (or one if your sports hernia is only on one side) meshes at the area of your groin. The The tissue will grow through thoses meshes and they will strengthen the (too) weak tissue.

The advantages from that kind of surgery are that it can be performed abulant and you can leave the doctor at the same day. There is barley pain and therefore you can start working out much sooner. Also sports hernia has always genetic roots. If you have a sports hernia that means that you have weak conjunctive tissue. With this kind of surgery it basically guaranties you to never have a sports hernia again.

Disadvantages are that there is no long term experience with what happens to that mesh and the titanium with which it is attached to the tissue. The mesh can never be removed once the tissue has grown through it. This kind of surgery is now only about 20 years old.

The other possible kind of surgery is the so called "traditional" form of hernia surgery. Basically the tissue will be cut and the layers (especially the muscles) will be sewed together again. Afaik the tissue will be sewed also to the bones of the pelvis.

I myself had the second kind of surgery to both sides at one time. And i can tell you there is no way you can make any kind of sports after 3-4 weeks. You can be happy to have sex after 2-3 weeks again ;-).
The doctors told me that i can start lifting weights again after about 6 weeks. I couldn't. I started light jogging after about 5 weeks and weight lifting after maybe 8-9 weeks.
This was also a head thing for me. When you do squads you rely heavily on your abdominal muscles and believe me knowing you got cut down there you wont push yourself to the limit without good testing.

Anyway i don't know much about TNEWs surgery and i don't know much about his real injury. I don't want to paint things black maybe he will be back after 4 weeks. But i just can't imagine.

Maybe these "4 weeks" are just a misunderstanding and it was meant that he could start training again after 4 weeks. Or maybe there is really another kind of surgery i don't know of. Which again i really doubt because a groin injury or a hernia is a straught forward thing to treat afaik.

Hernia's in the groin are typically inguinal hernia's and are indirect and direct. This is a totally different issue that repairing a torn groin muscle. I think that is the source of your confusion. And yes the repair of an inguinal hernia would likely be season ending at least 6-8 weeks IMO. And yes they often use a mesh to reinforce the 'connective' tissue which is the defect. Half of all inguinal hernias are genetic and half are related to things like chronic cough and straining the latter often being from lifting.

It's pretty clear this is a tear of the adductor magnus and a simple repair if simple can be used with repair of muscles.

I have a question for the elohssa's who are complaining about T-New's contract and that he's now injury prone.

WHAT'S YOUR POINT?

A)That we should have never resigned following the 2006 season. Moronic!
B)That we overpaid for him. We didn't
C)That we should cut him and take the huge cap hit right now to stop wasting money on him. Beyond Moronic!

Or do you just want us to be sure just how big an elohssa you are?

A "soft groin?"...

I have a feeling with Newman, he will take longer than a month to recover. The good thing is he got the surgery over and done with instead of just prolonging it till later.

I have that feeling too. 4 weeks seems too fast for recovery and getting back in playing condition. I don't think we will see him until the playoffs, then he still will be in a limited role.

Look on the right side; at least Jenkins and Scandrick should get plenty of experience so when Newman does return, we will be even better a a coverage unit.
