freester Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Is he fully recovered from his fractured foot? Will he be on the PUP list? This is an issue the bills have not discussed publicly. I know his agent Hadley Englehard, and I will ask him about it this weekend when I see him-although I don't know if he will tell me the truth.

Mike formerly from Florida Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 I think he's better. Didn't I read somewhere his first surgery wasn't done properly...something about he needed to have pins placed, and this time they did that, or am I thinking of some other player? Can someone confirm this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can someone confirm this? I believe he stated that at a press conference or in an interview...something about the pins may be but also how at NCState the procedures simply "fixed" the problem, but whatever the Bills did evidently took more preventative measures...

Gee that's great, now every single last one of us can rest because your assessment is obviously accurate and based in sports science. Surely you have a medical backround Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 I did not go back and read any previous threads or links, but here's my understanding of the situation: the doctors at NCSU did not "screw up" -- they simply treated McCargo's injury in a less-invasive (yet medically acceptable) manner and did not insert hardware. Following the re-break, the doctors decided to go with the hardware in the hopes that doing so would prevent further occurrence of the same injury. This is oddly similar to what happened w/ Hank Tallinder (Sabres). His broken arm from the playoffs last Spring was at first treated non-invasively, but after he broke it in the same place earlier this season the doctors inserted hardware. Presuming there were no surgical complications, I do not know why McCargo would not be fully recovered and ready to go this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
