/dev/null Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Hopefully it would be the team's (if any exists) and it can be controlled. Problem is once you put something on the internet it's there forever. Somebody will sync the video up to a porn soundtrak, Nelson Munz laughing, Alex Jones will doctor it so it looks like some great conspiracy, or Gregggggggy will post it in the UFO thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transient Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 (edited) Dr. David Chao Talking about this on Sirius - they took Teddy to Hennepin hospital, which is NOT the nearest one to the stadium, fwiw. They're not sure why yet, maybe it's not as bad as it seems. The doc speculated that it could be a patella dislocation which looks really bad vs an ACL, which wouldn't look as bad and would be something that Teddy could walk off the field with... That was my first thought based on descriptions floating around the thread. Here's a Medline description of a dislocated patella: Kneecap dislocation Kneecap dislocation occurs when the triangle-shaped bone covering the knee (patella) moves or slides out of place. The problem usually occurs toward the outside of the leg. Causes Kneecap (patella) dislocation is often seen in women. It usually occurs after a sudden change in direction when your leg is planted. This puts your kneecap under stress. Dislocation may also occur as result of direct trauma. When the kneecap is dislocated, it can slip sideways to the outside of the knee. Symptoms Symptoms of kneecap dislocation include: Knee appears to be deformed Knee is bent and cannot be straightened out Kneecap (patella) dislocates to the outside of the knee Knee pain and tenderness Knee swelling "Sloppy" kneecap -- you can move the kneecap too much from right to left (hypermobile patella) The first few times this occurs, you will feel pain and be unable to walk. However, if dislocations continue to occur and are untreated, you may feel less pain and have less immediate disability. This is not a reason to avoid treatment. Kneecap dislocation damages your knee joint. First Aid If you can, straighten out your knee. If it is stuck and painful to move, stabilize (splint) the knee and get medical attention. Your health care provider will examine your knee. This may confirm that the kneecap is dislocated. A knee x-ray and, sometimes, MRIs should be done to make sure that the dislocation did not cause a broken bone or cartilage damage. If tests show that you have no damage, your knee will be placed into an immobilizer or cast to prevent you from moving it. you will need to wear this for several weeks (usually about 3 weeks). After this time, physical therapy can help build back your muscle strength and improve the knee's range of motion. If there is damage to the bone and cartilage, or if the kneecap continues to be unstable, you may need surgery to stabilize the kneecap. This may be done using arthroscopic or open surgery. **Bolding and italics mine to highlight description in thread** Edited August 30, 2016 by transient Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 There's a report that the call from the Vikings' facility to EMS came in as "dislocated knee" -- and with reports Teddy had to be sedated for an MRI one can only imagine the pain he must have been in. So sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Yikes! @JeneBramel Knee dislocation /= kneecap dislocation. Knee dislocation is total disruption of joint, multi-ligament tear w/ other structures at risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So sad. I had to be sedated for an MRI, but that was so my heart wouldn't explode due to claustrophobia, thereby getting their pretty machine dirty. (My heart seemed to be of less concern to them, I think.) I'll hope that was his deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So sad. It's reportedly very painful (assuming kneecap and not "dislocated knee" as above; my former roommate, who played college football, had a dislocated kneecap and said it was excruciating, in part due to the muscle spasms he had while his knee was dislocated), but depending on the extent of damage to surrounding bone, cartilage, or ligaments, a dislocated kneecap is potentially less severe and less of a recovery than an ACL tear.

The Wiz Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 (edited) This sounds career threatening. I wouldn't be surprised. It would basically be like two pieces of wood connected with a hinge and then having someone blow up the hinge with some C4. And then having 200 some odd lbs pushing down on the two rounded edges.

Knee dislocation is total disruption of joint, multi-ligament tear w/ other structures at risk. So one may speculate that this would cause nerve and severe blood vessel damage? Possible significant internal bleeding? All speculation, but this is more like internal damage that may be life threatening or altering vs just season or career threatening injury. Sucks for the guy!

C.Biscuit97 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Could be too hard for him like it was for Marcus Lattimore. At least, he's a qb so his career is not 100% depended on his legs.
