BREAKING: Dez Bryant Expected To Miss 10-12 Weeks (1 Viewer)

[JuniorNB]

An official team announcement said 4-6 weeks on Monday. Now, it's been revealed that there was more to the surgery than just putting a screw in. The time lost has been increased to 10-12 games. For a top 10 overall fantasy player. This absolutely deserved a new thread. This isn't some messageboard nobody making a speculation.

It's a huge news story that doubles the time Bryant will be out. People might not check the original Bryant thread again. This will have a big impact on what his owners decide to do.

Wow this instantaneous news reporting is really getting out of hand

surgery was Monday. News came out that they needed to do a bone graft 6 days later.

Every media person wants to break stories obviously.....it just gets outa hand with all the tweeter/facebook/instawhatever, etc.....since there's a constant news stream, inaccurate stuff is released cuz these mediots feel the pressure to be first....just kind of annoying

But how do we know the 10-12 weeks is accurate? Sounds like speculation.

Common sense too. Again I've asked this before has a NFL player ever come back in the 4-6 week window after having surgery on a broken foot? I'm a Dez owner and would love to see him come back that quickly but I just don't see it happening. I'd love to hear a case of this happening in the past to at least get my hopes up a little.

Do we really need a new thread each time some new speculation is put out there? Clearly, it is NOT known how long Bryant will be out. Isnt it good enough to just put opinions/speculation in one thread?

It's not speculation ...it's 10 -12 weeks.

That's legit information and important to know.

Now we have to decide whether it's worth holding him for 10-12 weeks or freeing up a roster spot.

12 weeks

http://www.biomedcentral.com/1758-2555/4/25

Background

Delayed unions or refractures are not rare following surgical treatment for proximal fifth metatarsal metaphyseal-diaphyseal fractures. Intramedullary screw fixation with bone autografting has the potential to resolve the issue. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the result of the procedure.

Methods

The authors retrospectively reviewed 15 athletes who underwent surgical treatment for proximal fifth metatarsal metaphyseal-diaphyseal fracture. Surgery involved intramedullary cannulated cancellous screw fixation after curettage of the fracture site, followed by bone autografting. Postoperatively, patients remain non weight-bearing in a splint or cast for two weeks and without immobilization for an additional two weeks. Full weight-bearing was allowed six weeks postoperatively. Running was permitted after radiographic bone union, and return-to-play was approved after gradually increasing the intensity.

Results

All patients returned to their previous level of athletic competition. Mean times to bone union, initiation of running, and return-to-play were 8.4, 8.8, and 12.1 weeks, respectively. Although no delayed unions or refractures was observed, distal diaphyseal stress fractures at the distal tip of the screw occurred in two patients and a thermal necrosis of skin occurred in one patient.

This is a great post ...probably the most confirming of the entire thread

Can we start the "Looks like Dez Bryant Screwed us all" thread yet?

 

[matuski]

6 weeks no 8 weeks no 4 weeks no 11 weeks no the entire season no 10 weeks no 12 weeks.

I TOLD YOU SO! I KNEW IT!

I love being right all the time.

As long as he remains off the IR designated to return I think that should be a strong tell to us all that the Cowboys expect sooner than later.

Mmhmm.

Roddy White said Tuesday on Sirius that, having watched Julio Jones and his foot injury, he isn't sure Dez Bryant will return at all in 2015

Well...looks like Roddy White TRIED to screw us all Again! Spreading misinformation and all.
