How is RGIII?

[emor09]

Imagine the money they could've made if they put the surgery on Pay Per View.

They think Pacquiao/Mayweather would have made a lot of money back in 2010? That'd be nothing compared to this.

I kid, I kid. (Sort of)

How does the ligament get reattached to the tibia/femur? what makes it stick?

i still have screws in my knee from my ACL replacement

The critiquing of Dr. Andrews , the worlds best orthopedic surgeon, by ESers would be comedy gold however.

Wow, sounds like the crazy notion I was feeling earlier....that Andrews upon reviewing the MRI's and having a look felt that the 2009 graft was simply not done in a way that was most conducive to RG3 remaining healthy and at peak condition for a long period of time and thus wanted to redo the repair the way he would've done it...actually is adding up. Which coudl've been where the whole misguided notion of a "previous" unannounced ACL came from. Upon looking at the MRI's for the original injury, Andrews may've noticed that there was questionable work done on the original ACL reconstruction and was unsure how it'd hold up. But, until the point where the LCL NEEDED surgery, there was little reason to open him up and check for the hell of it.

sounds like it, so the LCL was really the only new injury, ACL was fixed

Yeah, seems like ACL was just kinda tweaked to make it better than it was, almost just to be sure since the knee was already open.

This suggestion is plausible, but unless Andrews and Adickes have a fight, I'm willing to wager we'll never know for certain.

"What's he thinking, creating the incision towards the foot? Wikipedia and webMD said always make the incision in an upward motion!"

It's obvious, Jim, that this guy is feeling the heat. Why he went in on the posterior side of the patella tendon is a mystery to me.

The sad thing is, we both know we are not kidding.

"My grandmother could graft better than that!! Dr Andrews needs to be cut immediately. He is just taking up a roster spot that could be used for depth in other areas like a quality backup neurologist."

[Sekhmet187]

sadly, it wouldn't even just be ES that would critique the guy. we all know 106.7 would be calling for his license and saying hes a hack, with reports from some doctor in Montana calling in about his expertise and twitter would be talking about how poor his incisions are.

And then, all of a sudden, that "Dr. Mara" guy shows up in the operating room!

He does look like a trouble maker.

They should have take the tendon's from Rex and given them to RG3. What is Rex going to need them for anyway?

[skinsfanindallas88]

217 pages of all this conjecture and the only thing that I can think of is that with all the doctors on here I'm shocked ES hasn't cured cancer
