Rumors about Mckenzie Milton's Injury.

[UCFBUCKEYE]

The rumor I keep hearing about Mckenzies injury is that he had a Knee Deslocation. If that is true, I was personally wondering what that means for him going forward as far as recovery time and percentage of full use of his leg. Every case is different depending on the severity of the injury and person it happened to. Again, I have no idea if this is infact what happened to KZ . Just thought others would like to know what it means if this is the injury.

[URL='https://www.emedicinehealth.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=108022'] Description:

Dislocation of the knee is a true limb-threatening emergency. This is also a rare injury. Dislocation of the knee is caused by a particularly powerful blow to the knee. The lower leg becomes completely displaced with relation to the upper leg. This displacement stretches and frequently tears not only the ligaments of the knee but also arteries and nerves. Untreated arterial injuries leave the lower leg without a blood supply. [/URL]

Prognosis of a Knee Dislocation:

In general, this is a very serious injury. Recover is possible, but often the injured knee does not regain its previous capacity to adsorb stresses. It is not uncommon for doctors to recommend some types of supportive wraps or devices to protect the knee and to reduce stresses on it, especially during activities like skiing or playing football. Some knee dislocations cause so much damage that some doctors will suggest that certain activities are avoided altogether.

• Almost all knee dislocations require reconstruction surgery because major injury to the artery occurs in many knee dislocations and because of the severe ligament injury.

• After appropriate treatment and surgery, however, results have been good. Knees return close to normal in most cases. The prognosis is best with an optimal rehabilitation exercise program.

Rumor, where have you been. Under a rock, maybe.

 

[KnightVision82]

It's a one day at a time thing and still a lot of hurdles to overcome before anything definitive can be said. The sky is the limit but the gravity of the situation is keeping every-bodies feet on the ground.

I heard a rumor that it's all a massive conspiracy to get Memphis game planning for Mack then McKenzie comes out of the tunnel like Hollywood Hogan.

 

[UCFBUCKEYE]

Memphis be like

 

[Mikesi]

Wow. Sounds like a lot of damage. He probably should move near there and let them take care of him from beginning to end. They have some of the best orthopedic surgeons in the world and I’m sure they can follow his rehabilitation more closely if done locally in Tampa

If he has to move near, he may have to transfer to USF.

There's a big Christmas break coming up. I'm sure they're hoping for the next surgery during that time.

Not move there forever. Haha

He can commute there when needed. Id rather move to north sentinel island than tampa tbh

 

[bluechip12]

Some “NFL Doctor” guy on Twitter is saying it’s unlikely Milton ever plays high level football again. Really hope that’s not true. Feel absolutely terribly for the kid.

 

[Shark19]

Wow. Sounds like a lot of damage. He probably should move near there and let them take care of him from beginning to end.

Nah, the stench emanating from USF football would be nauseating.
Public health crisis.

 

[Mikesi]

Assessment on 96.9 The Game this morning based on an interview with an orthopedic surgeon isn’t promising

Additionally, the proximity of being near Tampa General as a blessing in disguise was confirmed

 

[JAFFX2]

I certainly respect the expert opinions, but take them for what they are...opinions. More important they are based upon speculation because none of these experts in the media have access to his medical records and know exactly what the prognosis really is. I am a glass half full kind of guy and that is how I am going to view this unless the facts say otherwise.......

 

[Happy Hands]

Rumor, where have you been. Under a rock, maybe.

Who the hell told you about the rumor rock? Stay out of there. Nothing they say there about old HH is true, or at least it can't be proved. Fuggin rock.

If Robert Edwards can come back, so can MM.

Look up the story of Edwards. Unreal.

Or Rocky Bleier for that matter.

McKenzie has the heart of a Lion.

Edwards was told he may never even WALK again. But told his body to quit slacking, came back four years later and then had a couple of 1000 yard rushing seasons in Canada.

Probably not the same injury but Willis McGahee ran for 8400 yds in the NFL after blowing out his knee (ACL, PCL and MCL) ....

 

[BlakNGoldAllDay]

Guys we know people have come back after hurting knee. That’s not the debate. The debate is after massively dislocating knee with blood flow stopped and with major restructuring ahead. No one has come back from that yet. There always is a first though.

 

[KnightVision82]

Back in 2020. Wears a knee brace and no more runs up the middle.

yeah wants to get out of town before catching some kind of green cow fungus infection.

 

[Crazyhole]

Even if he can 100% rehab the knee, the psychological impact would be hard to overcome.

Im going with this version of the story until his doctors say otherwise.....

I am far from an expert but did a little light reading. From what I gather, the initial obstacle is restoring blood flow issues quickly which they did successfully with KZ. Sounds like he has some nerve issues but those often times can be overcome. Typically a dislocation that result in blood flow issues, almost always result in significant structural knee damage and there are a variety of ways to categorize the severity. Given that they have cleared the initial concerns his biggest obstacle now is likely dealing with significant structural damage. I think the potential optimism comes from the fact that there have been many athletes with significant structural knee damage that have recovered.

 

[Gwoz]

Depends on what they think additional stress on a repaired knee will do to his long term mobility in life. Could not imagine being 21 and be faced with the thought of potentially being hobbled for the rest of one's life.

 

[KnightVision82]

Even if he can 100% rehab the knee, the psychological impact would be hard to overcome.

I broke my right leg and dislocated my ankle as a 10th grader in H.S. football. I thought about it for about 1 or 2 plays when I got on the field for my first game as a junior. Rehab gives players who are recovering from a massive injury confidence. Now if you're rehab-ing and the pain doesn't go away or strength doesn't come back that is another story but that isn't psychological.

 

[UCFBUCKEYE]

Everyone deals with injuries differently. People that have drive and determination like KZ are the ones that go further. He strikes me as a kid that would not have any psychological issues getting back on the field.

Agree and the fact that he is 21 versus 35 yrs old helps.

 

[knight_tracker]

What ever the outcome for KZ he has a bright future ahead of him. With the way he studies and understands the game he could go into coaching down the road when his playing days are done.

Has any good player come back from same injury?

 

[Mikesi]

We don’t know the EXACT details of the injury and we aren’t orthopedic surgeons.

Additionally, there are a lot of other variables involved.

I have never seen any documentation of the exact injury that is being reported.

I still think that he should stay over there for awhile and use the rehabilitation specialists that his specific surgical team recommends and is familiar with.

Injuries to college kids can become quite expensive in comparison to NFL players. That’s a reason that college players don’t always come back to play again

That's right. I forgot about Rocky Bleier. Anything is possible and that was over 40 years ago.

 

[JAFFX2]

As Mikesi so eloquently said ....We don’t know the EXACT details of the injury and we aren’t orthopedic surgeons........so other than the fact that we know it was dislocation what is the same injury in terms of extent of the damage? That would be no different than saying two cars were rear ended.....were they both totaled??? unless you now the exact details it cannot be determined....

I'm sorry. Who's not an orthopedic surgeon? Speak for yourself.

So what is your prognosis Doc?

Major dislocation in which emergency surgery had to be performed to get blood flow restored. Let’s start there. Show me examples please. I’ll show you 2 that haven’t played again.

Off hand I don't know of any but your 2 examples would certainly be very helpful in putting the extent of his injury in context.
