I think his issue is that he could not grip the football. as long as he is in a splint he should be fine.

But he still needs time to heal. He broke something right?

Watson's fracture of the index metacarpal was a spiral....
Oct 21, 2014, 8:57 AM
|
|
fracture vs. a lateral fracture. Hence the reason for the 4 screws and no plate. Also, because a length wise spiral fracture gives the bones more surface area to be in contact with, the healing process is actually quicker than with a lateral fracture. He will have have 32 days to heal before the GT game which is barely enough.
Lets hope that Paul Johnson does not put a bounty on Watosn and enocurage his defense to go after Watson's hand. I remember a Duke palyer doing this to Steve Fuller mid way through the 1977 season, in a scrum type pile up after a play, and nobody could tell who did it. He broke Fuller's left hand fortunately) and he played the next 5-6 games with a soft cast on hand.

yes he did...but they are holding it together with screws. It is not like a regular break that needs no motion to heal. When a broken bone is fixed with screws, it is recommended that early movement and excerise is started ASAP to prevent stiffness (which he sure doesnt need) and scar tissue from forming around the screws and in the finger. The splint is used to hold in place where the surgery was performed...this is to prevent the bones from pulling apart from the screws. As the bone heals, more and more exercise will be used. Plus I feel sure they are using stimulation every day to help in the healing. Medical science has come a long way.

I guess not. Can't help but worry when a guy like Peake keeps trying to come back but can't get healthy.

Big difference though between a small broken bone in a hand that recovers fast and the main issue is grip and pressure vs an ACL tear in a knee which takes longer to heal and can have harder rehab with a main issue of weight support, ability to absorb impact with weight, and be able to stay stable under quick momentum shifts.

There are a LOT of variables with an ACL tear...
Oct 21, 2014, 9:01 AM
|
|
they usually come along with some other damage to cartilage and/or other ligaments that all work together to provide stability (or not).
There's a mental aspect to blown up knees too that I never experienced with broken fingers, and I had several of both.

Actually, I think that scares some people. If we recall, Dabo and Morris kept saying Stoudt had done nothing to lose his starting position. I don't think that will happen, but who knows.

I think if Watson is ready by GA tech game he will start. Stoudt did good against BC but if that would have been Watson running on last play before halftime I think it would have been a TD instead of a FG. After those two close games does anyone kind of wished that Watson could throw left hand also or am I the only one,ha just wondering. GO TIGERS!!

My point was that if it was bad enough to require surgery and have screws set into place
Oct 20, 2014, 10:42 PM
|
|
Then it was probably a more serious fracture. shouldnt the bone be in a splint for longer than a week? I know when I broke my ankle, I was in a cast for 6 weeks before the took it off and let me move it around

Comparing your ankle to his finger is like comparing Clemson and SCar.....there just is no comparison.

Are to simply expedite the healing process not that they were absolutely needed because the break was so severe. If you or I had the same break they would not bit screws in it. I had a broken bone in my hand in a different finger but same spot behind the knuckle. The dr set it, splinted it, and it was healed in 4 weeks with no pins.

Tigernet- home of the Renaissance Men. There's no coach that knows as much as we do or a doctor that understands injuries better than the RM of TigerNet. Coming to theaters for the holidays.

I wonder if he's decided to quit due to the injuries. It happens you know. I mean, what's a NFL career if you can't walk when it's over.

I am sure the hand specialists were there with Deshaun supervising. Not a spur of the moment decision.
