Due to medical privacy laws, we will not know exactly what happened to Teddy. I doubt the full evaluation gets released to the public. It surely could, but I don't anticipate it.Mothman wrote:Just how bad is Teddy Bridgewater’s injury?
Like I stated last week, the ambulance was called because the knee dislocation he suffered could have severely damaged his neuro-vascualr integrity. It is extremely rare for an ambulance to be called for a football related injury that doesn't involve the head/neck. It is almost unheard of the ambulance to arrive for a non-contact lower extremity injury.
I could sit here and try to surmise exactly what ligamentous damage Teddy has, but what is the point? It is not fair to Teddy to speculate. Plus, it is an exercise in futility. That is why I hate hearing all these 'opinions' out there about his injury. Simply put: the casual fan and media-type have zero clue about the extent of his injury. HELL, I truly don't 'know' anything either.
If more information comes out, I will try to explain as best as I can. I am not an orthopedic surgeon however, and by no means should I be labeled an expert. I would really appreciate hearing an ortho's take on this injury (like Dr. Chao) if/when the real extent of Teddy's injury is released.
In the meantime, let's all rally around Teddy and hope there are no complications in his surgery and subsequent rehabilitation. He is a great person and didn't deserve this injury - no one in this world does.
