Comebacks from lisfranc? (1 Viewer)

[ldizzle]

I tried searching and only names I came up with were duece mcallister and ronnie brown and they were never the same. How likely are guys like mjd and dmc to come back and be at least a rb2

I don't think MJD ever had a serious lisfranc injury, did he?

And DMC returned from his lisfranc already, he just went back into the wrong system. (but it had never required surgery anyways).

I think this topic has been brought up several times in past years. The guy who seems to come to mind was Duce Staley as well.

I know he isnt a running back but didnt Hakeem Nicks recently suffer a Lisfranc, or was that compartment syndrome?

MJD's injury was not initially reported as lisfranc, but confirmed by later reports... here's a piece by Bramel last month: http://subscribers.footballguys.com/apps/article.php?article=bramelinjuryworry

Yes, he just had a sprain not a tear, so it was not that serious of an injury.

Been a run of Lisfranc injuries over the past two seasons, so there'll be more data soon.

Matt Schaub, Brian Westbrook and Dwight Freeney come to mind as relative successes. I think Ronnie Brown should be considered a relative success and Darren McFadden looked good last year, too. Kevin Jones had a handful of good games after his Lisfranc injury but probably shouldn't be considered a positive data point.

It's correct that there's a difference between a stable sprain, an unstable sprain and a fracture, with the latter two requiring surgery and carrying a higher risk that a player will never return to form.

Nicks had a fracture of the fifth metatarsal (bone on outside of foot) last May. The Lisfranc is a joint complex behind (predominantly) the first and second toe. Nicks also had compartment syndrome.

Westbrook had his best season after a lis franc

Strahan had one towards the tail end of his career and he was a me to come and finish strong.

like a lot of things, medical state of the art has progressed a long ways...

in gale sayers time, an ACL tear was more or less a death blow to a career...

in napoleonic era, cavalry officers who's horses stopped suddenly, causing them to fall forward and break their foot in the stirrup (the circumstances which caused this injury to first be identified and named), i think sometimes amputation was the treatment...

few players have also had ruptured achilles in recent years, hopefully crabtree can come as strong as demaryius thomas... is the consensus that leshoure is hobbled, or just hasn't had a chance to prove himself with volume work load and get in a rhythm (my guess is he doesn't look as explosive as his former peak)...

some injuries are worse than others... the knee ligament or tendon injury suffered by cadillac is often cited as as pointing towards it being difficult to return to form (not sure if LCL, has to do with lateral or side stability, i think)... but it looked like he was coming back, and than he injured it a second time (also not sure if same or differnt knee, but devastating to his comeback either way)... this is the same injury suffered by ryan williams, and he admitted he was scared to go full out, especially cutting at full speed... so he will be a sort of test case for that in his second season removed from it (of course, he might not have chance to show where he is at if mendenhall dominates carries)...

The Caddy/Ryan Williams injury is a PCL.

The Caddy/Ryan Williams injury is a PCL.

Both backs tore their patellar tendon. I may be mistaken but I don't think either have had PCL tears.

Thank you, that was definitely my mistake.
