Only full avulsion requires surgery since you have to physically reconnect the muscle. Same as if there's serious tendon damage.
Depends if the tendon has completely detached from the bone.
Yeah I wouldnt say that was an issue, no idea what @markpitts is talking about, and his refusal to tell us speaks volumes.
.. wasn’t talking about that. I am a big fan of Estevao, I just don’t think we are the right club for his talent. It’s more about going all the way back to Brazil for rehab. If every time a player got injured they decided to go back to their home country for rehab, we might be in trouble. I am interested in what the Brazilian fan that posts often on here feels the general sentiment is amongst Brazilian fans a year into his move.
You think he just went back on his own, just bought a ticket and buggered off without the club knowing? Dont be so ridiculous.
I never said that. I just think it’s weird travelling round the world for rehab when you have world class facilities at your employer. I feel he went to Brazil to try and see if the Brazilian NT medics might OK him making the World Cup squad.
Could also be hearsay and Estevao, being as young as he is, misinterpreted the doctor. Hard to believe that 80% of the hamstring which was a complete tear, all of a sudden regenerate within 2 weeks.I just read the below - assuming it is a real quote, this is very encouraging
The Standard
Estevao issues injury update as Chelsea star eyes comebac...Teenager was ruled out of World Cup with a torn hamstring
"I had an injury where I tore 80 per cent of my hamstring bicep femoris,” he explained.
“The Chelsea doctors wanted me to have surgery and even the Chelsea owner said he wanted me to have surgery.
“Two weeks ago, I had a second MRI scan, and the doctor asked if I was in pain or feeling anything.
“I said: 'No, doctor, I'm fine, I think I could even play already.'
“He said: 'Yeah, it really shows.' He showed me the exam image and said he couldn't see any more of the injury.
“He said he doesn't know what happened, because in the timeframe we're in, it shouldn't be that well-structured like it is."
You know as well as I do that these can be famous last words in your 30s
Not sure if you've seen the American film Friday Night Lights, but it just screams Booby Miles.You know as well as I do that these can be famous last words in your 30s
Ive a mate whos done this but hes in his mid 20`s. Tore his ACL playing RL, thought it was a pull and carried on played 3 games with it (A winger too). finally gave in and went to a specialist and he has an 80% ACL tear and other knee stuff. Going for a complete rebuild end of July, daft sod is even wanting to play one more game before the op as he wont play again for a minimum of 12 months.You know as well as I do that these can be famous last words in your 30s
That's pretty special, tearing an ACL as an RL winger...you run in straight lines
