No Surgery for AD

I know this was referenced in the other thread, but thought the article deserved its own. Apparently, in this case the labrum won't require surgery. Generally speaking, it really is better not to cut if the conditioned can be managed without causing further damage. That seems to be the case here, according to the MD in L.A.

Saw that. Glad the Pels were transparent and released some info. Hopefully it stay stable and doesn't require surgery down the line.
I was curious about the part that said Davis hadn't missed any time due to the shoulder injury- I thought he had. Was that for another shoulder surgery?

Maybe you're thinking about that nasty spill he took against Chicago last year? Kept him out for awhile. Think it was shoulder or collarbone?

He definitely missed time with the shoulder injury this year. Might have been a different injury though.

I just saw the crawler on ESPN say that he had knee surgery, but won't require shoulder surgery because he has played through it since his rookie year.
1. Knee surgery?
2. So he keeps playing through it instead of fixing it

The doctor out in LA decided it wasn't severe enough to require surgery.

Yeah, just had it. The most interesting development though might be an apparent change in team strategy away from the Sean Payton school of Injury PR.
quote:
After being notoriously tight-lipped regarding injury information all season, the New Orleans Pelicans opened the floodgates Thursday night. The team released a full medical report from Dr. Neil ElAttrache of the Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Group regarding Anthony Davis and his current shoulder and knee injuries.
Apparently AD got some stem cells from his hip injected into his knee. Kind of cool.
quote:
In addition to the debridement, Davis’ also received a regenerative injection derived from bone marrow aspirate. These injections, similar to the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections that have gained popularity over the past few seasons, utilize stem cells taken from the affected individual’s bone marrow. The stem cells are harvested, often from the hip, and introduced to the injury site with the intent to stimulate the body’s natural healing response.
Davis isn’t the first NBA player to utilize ultrasound debridement and stem cell injections. Former Laker and current Bulls center Pau Gasol underwent the technique on both his knees in the summer of 2013. Dr. Steven Yoon, also a member of the Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Group, performed Gasol’s procedure. Gasol has since put together two All-Star campaigns and earned All-NBA Second Team accolades and, until recently, did not report a single issue with his knees.

Not to split hairs, but I don't think it was knee "surgery". He did have a procedure performed on his knee.
