Leeds Utd vs Hull City home and away 2012/2013. There's another pointless post Is there anything that could have been spotted at the medical stage of signing Aluko, Fryatt and Dudge or are all 3 just genuine instances of bad luck?
Aluko has already had surgery on his Achilles before. Surely this potentially being his second surgery in just a few years would increase the likely hood of further injury. It may make more sense to sell him if we can after he comes back, rather than have a player on our pay roll again who never plays.
I can't remember who, but some on here had the same surgry as Matty Fryatt. They said the achilles is stronger after the opp because they remove thin part if the tendom and leave the thicker part.
So what ? Aluko has not scored since November @ Birmingham for starters and we have not done that badly without him have we ? No need to rush Aluko. He is back when he is ready. No panic from me.
I dont know what problem he has exactly. These are apparently the most common issues. The net seems to think that surgery to the achilles is only 80-90% effective and 10% of those people whom the surgery is effective have a recurrence sometime after the surgery. One has to think that if you are someone for whom it was effective for and you had a recurrence that a subsequent recurrence would be even more likely to happen than the simple 10%. Paratenonitis: The recovery time for paratenonitis is highly variable and depends on the extent and severity of symptoms, potentially lasting up to or even exceeding three months. Athletes may be able to return to pre-injury levels of play, but this can require an extended period of recovery. While paratenonitis can be resolved with rest and anti-inflammatory medication, it may recur if there are underlying biomechanical factors that contributed to the development of the problem. Tendinosis: The structural changes that occur in the tendon due to degeneration are largely irreversible, but the symptoms may resolve and thus the athlete may be able to return to play. However, symptoms sometimes recur after activities are resumed. Insertional Tendonitis: Athletes should recover within six weeks if the cause of pain is a calcium formation or a bone spur forming just above the insertion point of the Achilles tendon to the heel bone, but recurrence is a risk if the bone spur is not removed. Retrocalcaneal Bursitis: Estimated recovery for retrocalcaneal bursitisis is four to six weeks but can be more prolonged, especially if there is an anatomic factor (such as bone spur) that is mechanically irritating the tendon.
No I was a financial and data analyst (for lack of a better description) for a non profit before I retired about 7 months ago to become a farmer. I have a few friends who are doctors and one who is a surgeon. I got that off the net after searching for the most common reasons athletes needed surgery on an achilles and then looking up recurrence rates.
It was me who had the achilles op and it does make it a lot stronger. Do we know if this injury is the same leg as the one he injured previously?
I cant find which leg it was. He had it right after he had surgery to his stomach while he was at Aberdeen in 2010.
It is a blow about Aluko but we have to carry on without him. Again, Hull City are doing very well thank you without Aluko. At least he will come back hopefully stronger next season and ends any summer transfer rumours.....hopefully.
