Anyone see Weidmans latest ig off?

[Doughie99]

He can weight bearing and do some walking and regular PT. But it seems he’s over doing it. Big caveat is that these are purely suggestions based on minimal clinical knowledge of his situation and seeing only a few X-rays. Not at all a diagnosis or recommendation

do you expect the fibula fracture to ultimately fix? To me it looks (from the 2nd pic) substantially displaced still (upper part displaced towards the outside of the leg) and I don't see how the fibula will fix when it's in such a displaced position. I understand your point that the fibula bears very little weight but If that doesn't fix that will always be *very* susceptible to future re-injury i'd think.

I don't know how or why this guy Weidman is clinging onto some hope of fighting again. He had been on a downward spiral for a long time, and with this leg injury and his neck vertebrae fusion.....it's time for him to pull the plug. I hope those around him ARE going to try very hard to persuade him to retire. If he needs that "hope" to push through his recovery, OK I get that, but ultimately him fighting again is a very bad idea indeed with these multiple injuries.

Hope he gets well! Can’t wait to see him get finished again, lol.

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

Mods here can't read. Lol.
