Don’t say that I didn’t tell you..(more information on the injury)

Pretty sure I am the only person on this board that even mentioned the word surgery.. and called his timeline for injury. Be respectful and I will post whatever I can when I can.
Section REMOVED for the HIPPAcrites..
As I stated, the injury has been a lingering issue. Not sure if the Spurs game closed the deal or not.. but it was coming at some point. Pelicans may not release this however.
Also, surgery was not the first option but without it, he would have had lingering issues on and off throughout the season. I expect him to be on a serious limitation in terms of minutes for 1-2 months after he returns. I think he returns close to full around Jan.
In terms of what the future holds. Meniscus injuries vary from person to person. In Zion’s case, he will recover about 90%. However, he is so athletic and quick, no one will notice any decline. What is a fact is that as he gets older, he will develop osteoarthritis in the affected knee to a moderate degree. But alllll NBA players have “arthritis” right? Well... they aren’t all almost 300lbs... Zion will be trimming down this off season. I expect it to be a priority before any other fundamentals. He was already made aware of this.
If you want the summary of this book-Zion will be ok. Be thankful is wasn’t his MCL or ACL.
Talk soon.

So a wasted rookie season?
And people complained that AD was hurt too often.

Blake Griffin dunked over a car after tearing his meniscus. Zion will be fine

frick you. We didn't need your tidbits before, and we don't need them now. Go get your attention in the nurses break room.

Doc, what kind of medicine do you practice? It burns when I pee and itches a little. Can I come see you?
Posted on 10/21/19 at 4:35 pm to CajunMD
removed meniscus or trimmed?
Posted on 10/21/19 at 4:35 pm to CajunMD
Didn't D wade have his removed when he was young or something? Led to him being jacked up during the big 3 era
Posted on 10/21/19 at 4:42 pm to CajunMD
Tigerwise said he had a torn mensicus and the timeline. Don’t pretend like you had the information.
Posted on 10/21/19 at 4:46 pm to CajunMD
Nobody cares

genius insight here.
his weight+height combo is a significant outlier in this league, even the average joe already knew knee and ankle injuries are going to be a risk for him throughout his career.

Without getting into too much detail, I saw the MRI and spoke to a special person or doctor....who was..fill in the blank.
Yeah that’s too much detail.
But only but the standards laid out by HIPAA
Posted on 10/21/19 at 4:52 pm to CajunMD
I’ll be alerting Oschner to let them know of this potential HIPAA violation involving a high profile patient who is employed by a partner of Oschner.
Edit: I’m not really contacting anybody.

Shrug. I could’ve given the exact same info based on Tigerwise’s post and the fact I had Derrius Guice on my fantasy team.

Cajun first off, curious what your background is. I'm in my last year of med school.
I'm curious if you have any insight as to why surgeons chose a total/partial meniscectomy vs repair esp when it comes to a lateral injury vs a medial one. Seems like partial meniscectomies are more popular due to the speed of recovery, but repairs have better long-term results. I assume the more in the "white zone" the more times surgeons move towards meniscectomy over repair because lack of blood flow.
curious your thoughts.

Dude, a meniscal tear is 100% recoverable and just because you have a form of evasive surgery does not automatically give you arthritis. Your googling is inaccurate unfortunately. I had 3 shoulder surgeries and 1 knee surgery when I was somewhat athletic. Now I’m of the normal dad bod status and I have arthritis in my shoulder, but literally zero issues in my knee to include strength, ROM, or stability. It’s all injury, person and rehab dependent.
