Isaiah Thomas Has Been Ruled Out for the Remainder of the Season

[RJ87]

I hope my wife the PT is totally wrong .  She read the blog headline from DA.

But she says to actually fix a Labrum tear ......requires surgery a bigger type that AB had on Shoulders.

She reports , the hip has to be dislocated or take the hip out of the ball scoket ,to repair the tisssue ......ouch ......its a BIG BIG deal and serious operation  , if the report is accurate.   She been in sports med 30 years , dealt will all kinds of athletes in many sports. .  He will have hip replacement at around age 50 she reports.

recovery time usually 12 months .....ugh

we need Fultz period now.

My friend is a Hospital for Special Surgery certified hip specialist whose area of expertise is labral tears. As long as the surgery goes well, IT should be able to return to basketball activities in 6 months. If it takes 12 months, something's wrong and there would be significant setbacks.

I don't know if it's smaller players but building with vets in general we go that route someone goes down for a long period or career ender we are left with nothing but a few aging vets. With picks and these young guys we still have talent and are building something and picks to keep doing that.  No way I give indiana our entire young core and picks for paul george for that reason.

This is the problem with smaller players. They always get injured.
This is also why we should not pay IT max money.

And big guys don't get hurt?  Can we take a trip to planet Oden, Bowie, or Walton maybe?

And Joel Embiid says hello.

Blake Griffin and Yao Ming too.

[rocknrollforyoursoul]

Link? But yeah it was over either way, may as well let him heal up

True dat.

"Isaiah has worked tirelessly to manage this injury since it first occurred," Celtics team physician Dr. Brian McKeon said in a statement. "The swelling increased during the first two games against Cleveland, and in order to avoid more significant long-term damage to his hip, we could no longer allow him to continue.

Sounds like IT would have tried to play. You can't question the guy's toughness.

Get well soon IT4.

Thats good news , Im sure my wifes company is very cauious about when they turn their patients loose.   I remember she also reported a longer time for KO to heal than it took.  She would not have let KO return that fast . Also he looked stiff and sore another three monthes before he trusted the surgery.  so maybe she was right all along.

but ....she says the fix will be close ,  but not good as he once was .   Depends on the person and age I suppose, to some degree , everybody is built different ....like Lebron  ...the perfect human body. she says..LOL  Some people never loose much after an ACL others loose their edge .  The sudden change in directions , cross over weight changes are super stressfull.   

At his height he can't aford to loose much of his misdirection , stop and start full speed stuff.

what an awful way to spend your summer ....i suppose he do the proceedure ASAp like AB and KO did .

poor guy ..... we ll be thinking of him in our prayers

Yeah, my friend said anything beyond 6 months would be unusual for high level athletes. Longer recovery times tend to be for non active people like myself lol.

He did say that people with this injury and surgery are prone to developing arthritis in the hip down the line, so that's something to consider.

After playing in Game 1 against the Bulls following his sister's death, I'd dare not question his character whatsoever.

Thank you for a great season IT.  The 4th quarter heroics this season was a treat to watch, especially that 29-point 4th quarter against the Heat.

I'm going to hope she's wrong. I know that with shoulders, not all labrum tears require surgery. I've got to think that if this was a 12-month injury, the Celts wouldn't have had him play the last few games. Hopefully.

I tore my Labrums in each hip. Had to have each surgery minimum 1 year apart, but I'm not a pro athlete making millions. I had my surgeries at Brigham & Womans in Patroit Place in Foxboro MA.
I was only 26 and 27 and was not allowed to put ANY weight on it for 6 weeks after the surgery. They take off all the torn pieces of the  Labrum (looks like pulled pork), which you can not grow back, and then they use a bunch of sutures to hold it together so it will heal.

I'm sure if the medical team was aware of this they would not have let him play for too long. If it just happened though then it may not be as torn up as mine was, which would limit the sutures and amount of Labrum needed to take off.

Replace IT with Smart. Try to slow down the game. Be patient on offense, throw an extra pass or two and avoid shooting quickly unless a player is wide open. Switch everything and beat them up on D. I mean, we will obviously lose the series but the least we can do is go down with some pride. We are the Boston Celtics god d@mn it! Up until now, this thing has been an embarrassment.

Man, sorry to hear that. Are you able to play ball nowadays? Do you feel like you fully regained all your speed and mobility?

my wife raised her eyebrow when i told her how long hed been playing on the bum hip.  Allowing that extra stress most likey did not help in the long run . 
can i ask how your injuries happened ?

The Little Guy's been through the ringer.

Thanks for an awesome season.  Here's hoping your mind, body and spirit get some time to heal.

I just want to point out that there are varying degrees of labral tears.  There are plenty of people walking around and even playing sports with labral tears that don't even know they have them.

Not trying to undersell the seriousness of the injury, but there's a population of patients with labral tears that opt for non-surgical treatment and do ok.   

Here's an article from the Journal of Orthopedic & Physical Therapy on athletes treating labral tears with a conservative approach.  http://www.jospt.org/doi/pdf/10.2519/jospt.2011.3225?code=jospt-site

Not sure what type or grade of tear Isaiah has, but that will have a big impact on his treatment.
