Knee Dislocation is probably the worst possible knee injury for someone playing professional sports to have, if it's a total dislocation that means he's likely torn several ligaments.

That's the knee synovial joint, though - which I believe is also what Teddy had (an actual dislocated knee).  What's been (at least initially) diagnosed here is a dislocated kneeCAP.  Patellar dislocations are actually a relatively common injury for female athletes and in some cases don't even require surgery.  Not trying to make this sound like a better or worse case scenario than people think, just don't want people conflating a kneecap dislocation with a total knee dislocation (and this is coming from someone who has suffered a total joint dislocation - and the tendon/ligament damage that came with it - from a sports injury in the past).

So his career is over? Or can he still make a comeback next year?

 

Woof. This is what I did to my right knee. He’s looking at a 12-18 month recovery time, the entire tendon tore and the kneecap isn’t anchored to the tib/fib anymore. There is significant swelling in the leg, that needs to subside before they can even get into his knee. This isn’t arthroscopic in nature - they’re going to have to butterfly his leg open to repair the tendon. That tendon is going to be locked into position for 6-8 weeks just to allow the sutures to reattach the tendon.

Here’s to hoping there’s no additional damages to the ligaments - just a tendon tear is bad enough.

It has destroyed a lot of careers. Most guys don't come back remotely the same player from it. A lot of guys retire not long after the injury.

Our biggest injuries have happened at Sofi this year? Do you think it’s the turf?
