Anyone see Weidmans latest ig off?

[biscuitsbrah]

If I’m reading this correctly it looks like weidman and his team rushed it and now he has another butterfly fracture on his fibula instead of just on his tibia. (Which never healed/possibly got worse) Not sure if he was gonna have to get another surgery in the future anyway but it seems like those rehab guys made it a 100% guarantee he has to now. I remember Anderson only had 1 surgery and he definitely wasn’t walking after a couple of weeks.

Look at the dudes fractures with the rod in. Going to those guys and rushing the training and walking was a huge mistake. If you look at the second picture it’s clear he has huge fractures on BOTH sides of the rod.



EDIT: if mods see this can you change the title from “off” to “post” lol

He's still my boy.

Didn't he start training when it was still up in the air whether he was gonna need an amputation ? I get that the doctors recommend activity to get blood flowing at certain points but Christ man go for a walk or some shit rather then train...

Guy needs to just helax and not try to come back too quick.

 

[Jojomojo]

Maybe wasnt the best idea, going running a few weeks after the injury...

 

[Bend NvR Break]

He needs to be strapped to a bed for 6 weeks. Weight bearing activities can be walking between the bathroom and the bed.

I dunno why he's trying to rush, you can only make it worse.

Not a smart one but he is still a boy, yours as well.

Silva>Weidman.... Karma...

 

[HockeyBjj]

Yikes. We saw him walking so soon. And a lot of us worried he was pushing it too hard

we were right

Licensed doctors and physical therapists vs sherbrology

Great advice for a guy on the wrong side of 30.

Cuz walking and weight bearing on a fresh fracture is clearly the intelligent thing to do. It’s actually a great way to ensure your leg never heals, possibly getting it amputated

Who is helping him with his physical therapy that are “snake oil salesman?”

Looks like Sherbrology was right in this case

 

[Poirierfan]

He said on Bispings podcast that there was a chance of it not healing due to lack of blood flow to that area, or something to that effect. He might never fight again from what I understood.

Nevermind. I read a Reddit post a while back with a ton of comments and upvotes but apparently it’s been debunked. Still, that extra fracture…

 

[PabloMEX]

So it wasn't a good idea to start training weeks after surgery?

 

[Dude Incredible]

Oh boy. I'm not a boneologist but this seems like a bad deal still. Was he directed to do all of this stuff or he did he force the docs hand or ignore the docs? I just want him to be alright whether he fights again or not.
