[INJURED] Yao to Miss at Least Six Weeks with Non-Displaced Fracture of Right Tibia

Only 3 days to recover 80%, 7 days to nearly healthy.
MRI could check and affirm it.
Great enough to try it.
Plz inform Yao and Rockets.
They said 6 weeks needed.

 

Are you trying to be funny? I'm not laughing.

 

That's bull crap...

 

Shut Up
Get out of here and back to your Sina.com.cn

 

I agree 7 days to heal is unlikely. It's very possible that the guy has not done a good job in translating it. But at least he tried. By the way, you have called a lot of posts bull crap lately. Why don't you start evaluating your own posts and determine how many of them are bull craps too?

By the way, this is your another bull crap comment yesterday when Yao's injury was initially believed to be just a bone bruise only:

Actually your reply is more like bull crap, isn't it?

 

I am not from sina

 

You are right. Correct transplation should be 7 days to walk.
I thought it could be said Nearly healthy.

I emphasized it's effectiveness could be checked by MRI.
It deserves a try.

 

Oh my God!! still 5 weeks n 6 days without Yao!!!!

Assume Yao cames back on 5 Feb 07 against Wolf, we still have abt 36games left(assumes 36games n with current winning ratio of 60%, that comes to abt 22games, add to our current 16 wins equals to 38 winning games)

For the 19 games plays without Yao (with the assumption of T-Mac's coming back and with winning ratio of 45%, that comes to abt 8 games), with 38+8 comes to 46games, we may still have chance to go into playoff

Hoprfully we can still get into playoff even at #8seed

Great player, lots of progress made.

 

I agree Yao may need less than 6 weeks to recover. For a greenstick tibia fracture which is the mildest fracture and X-rays positive, average time is 6-8 weeks. Yao has a MRI positive but X-rays negative fracture, so i guess it is not that bad, fortunately. I'd rather call it fatigue fracture.

 

I hope you're right. You sound like you actually know what you're talking about unlike some other people . The report from Team Yao is a bit different however. They are talking about more like 12 weeks of recovery before coming back.

 

I truly hope I'm wrong but...
It doesn't sound like a greenstick fracture from the descriptions. One side of the bone isn't bent and the other side isn't broken (the definition of a greenstick fracture).

This isn't a fracture along the shaft of the tibia.
Its a transverse fracture involving the weight-bearing surface of the tibia where it articulates with the femur from what I understand.

That is why its more complicated. Less than 6 weeks sounds like a ridiculously short amount of time. But I'm not an orthopedic surgeon...
At least its a hairline, non-displaced fracture. Sounds like they won't have to operate and it should heal better and faster than if it were displaced.

 

This what happens when u fire Calvin Murphy and exclude ex-rockets from the organization.

 

I am a physician myself and talked to one of my colleagues who is an orthopedist. He told me based on what I told him about the injury. He says that looking at 8-12 weeks. 8 weeks for somone who is young and heels quickly. Of course, he gets more aggressive care and closer followup than most patients. I personally think we are looking at 8 weeks. I hope I am wrong though.

 

I had a fracture on my knee when I was 12. It was just a small fracture, about 3/4 of an inch in length. It took me about 8 weeks of wearing a cast for it to heal and about 4 more weeks just to get strength back in the leg. So for a professional athlete like Yao, something from 8-12 weeks sounds just right.

 

Provided the Rockets stay within 8th. A layoff of 12 weeks means Yao's heading into the playoffs with only 4 weeks of warmup games...

Just got to hope Rockets stay within reach and maybe add another notable player.

 

U r really sick by putting this here and now...

 

Please explain the purpose of this idiotic post.

 

Yeah, here is my wish to you:
wish you have a horrible holiday; wish you lose job in the new year if you work; wish you get an F in every class in the new year if you are a student; wish you get ill everyday in the new year.
Yeah b**** like you (aka bplld) deserve all these.
