TNT reports C's medical staff reset Hayward's ankle

[playdream]

If you can reset someones ankle don't you have to be sure it's a clean break? If theres pieces of bones floating around obviously you wont try to snap it back into place?

Truly great experienced doctor can diagnose by touching without a xray, but they most likly used a portable xray

how much must that have hurt to have that thing reset right there on the spot...shoot...

sounds like it just popped out of place vs any serious breaks

i can't imagine they can reset if there was bones broken/fractures and cause further damage

It's likely the opposite, if it "pops out" imagine how much damage it will do to the ligament
on the other hand if it just broke to half according to the situation it can be only minor injury to ligament

thanks

but what do they mean they reset then?

According to above information and the video, the possibility(my best wish actually) is his tibia broke first when he lands which further cause minor ankle dislocation, you can just put both back

Latest report says dislocated ankle and fractured tibia, so yeah, they popped the ankle back and reset the tibia. Thank goodness we got a new medical staff this offseason! I hate to say it, but with the previous staff they would have likely botched it.

Wait. The Celtics had a medical staff before this year?

They had Brian Doo. He looked pretty sexy stretching guys behind the bench.

Never dislocated an ankle but have both shoulders and I can say the feeling of it being put back in is very relieving after the initial movement. No idea if it was same for him since it also had a break but once it's back in the right place it was 1000X better pain wise for me.

Amen Chilly Willy. Had dozens of shoulder dislocations and pain is excruciating. Sore as hell next day but relief after reset is joyous.

Same here. Relief from intense pain is pretty much the best feeling there is.

I think if true , thats good.   If the skin was unbroken and leg has a clean fracture ,  stabilizing it to repair itself is good.  Keeping infection out is critical .  They might want to let the bone heal , close itself , before making any other surgical repairs. that infection could get into the bone break and spread .

Really, walking? That's great news. I wish the best for Hayward but the team is still exciting going forward. That was a very crazy emotional blow last night but their is a long fun season ahead.

It can be any number of things, including letting any swelling go down.

JUST BUBBLE WRAP HIS LEG AND LET HIM REST FOR LIKE 6 WEEKS PLEASE. If his level of injury is at that level that could allow him to play again this season.

So they reset it already, and are waiting to fly back to Boston to do anything.

What does this mean, if anything , as far as recovery time?

They most likely had to reset and reduce that ankle ASAP because there's a major artery called the tibial artery that runs down the inside of your ankle and into your foot.  Compression on arteries is very bad for the tissues that they supply. 

This won't speed up his healing process but hopefully prevent some major setbacks.

Since the Tibia is the weight bearing bone in the leg he's most likely going to get rods inserted in his tibia surgically so the time frame and protocol his doctors want will be released after that.
