Torn MCL

[emplay]

Hey all,

Here’s my article on the Andrew Bynum situation:

Lakers: Bynum Out 8-12 Weeks, MCL Tear
http://www.hoopsworld.com/Story.asp?story_id=11413

Obviously disappointing but as far as knee injuries go – this is on the “better” side of things – certainly not nearly as complex as last year’s knee dislocation.

Thanks

Eric

CRAP!!!!


severity of tear now...

[SWOL]

E...SAY IT AINT SO

[donkeydong]

this would not necessarily be bad news yet. Depending on the grade of the tear, it could be only a couple weeks before he's back.

WE ARE SCREWED!!!

WHAT IS THE AVERAGE HEELING TIME FOR A TORN MCL?

[Fade-Away]

8-12 weeks,

which means,

he will be back april or May, if everything goes ok.

So playoffs start after april, May something, with means, bynum will be back for the playoffs, idk ifhe will be healthy, but he will be back!!

I heard its between 3-4 month recovery, I might be wrong tho

We might as well merge this with the big thread, and uh... as I already said...

I feel bad for Drew "Bill Walton" Bynum. There's some bad luck with those knees.

i'm guessing it's a grade III tear

[JoelMyersScrotalSack]

He's gone for the season. Coming back in May means absolutely nothing. He won't be able to contribute and he'll just hinder the offense.

This is total BS. What the hell did the Lakers do to deserve this?

[gcclaker]

Bynum's DONE for this season. He will NOT be back for the playoff run no matter how deep the squad gets. This sucks BIG TIME.

- A minor, or grade 1, MCL tear can take from a few days to a week and a half to heal sufficiently for you to return to normal activities, including sports.

-A grade 2 tear can take from two to four weeks to heal.

-A grade 3 tear usually takes from four to eight weeks to heal, unless it is associated with damage to the ACL, in which case the recovery time may be longer.

so which one is it?

F**k.
