Thanks for the update!So tragic when Zverev was at the top of his game he badly turned &tore all 3 lateral, ligaments of his ankle!May he have a speedy, successful, surgery & comeback!
Shame it ended that way. Though that injury doesn't erase the fact that Zverev is a domestic abuser. Strange how some people just started to praise him after the injury. Illogical.
I'm not a fan of Zverev nor a fan of any domestic abuse(r)!
However, being a Christian I was raised to forgive,not judge nor kick ppl when they're down bc karma is a trick!
In fact, Zverev's karma may have contributed to his injury!But I don't beat ppl while they're down!
How do they fix these ligaments? Guessing they aren't using screws
RIP that boxer that you posted who was swinging punches in the air 🙏
I tore two of the 3 and part of the third playing basketball like 8 years ago and we didn't do the surgery. It didn't heal right and was insanely loose leading to more and ankle sprains. Ended up doing the surgery 3 years later, and fast forward another 5 years I'm currently in Physical Therapy for a revision of the lateral ligament or a brostrom surgery I believeit was called. 0 out of 10 would not recommend lol.
What wouldn't you recommend? Getting or not getting surgery?
@Shahin Couto No absolutely get the surgery if recommended to you. If you're active at all, like recreational sports, hiking etc. All you're really doing is putting off the inevitable if you don't get it. Even if everything heals right it won't be as strong as before and it'll just keep getting worse.
The reason I had to have a second one is I'm insanely unlucky tbh. First ankle roll post surgery was a step off my porch in a weird way and I cracked a ankle bone. Second time which really did everything in, was I was walking into planet fitness in the rain and I stepped in a puddle, but it turned out to be a pot hole and I stepped on the side of it, and down I went.
TLDR get the surgery if recommended just brace up afterwards if you're going to be on uneven ground or anything like that.
@@hanswurst333356 hurting yourself in the first place lol. Definitely get the surgery done. I'm about 8 weeks post op and I've been up and walking without any aid for 2 weeks. And with the use of a stirrup brace since week 3. Obviously protocol varies from doctor to doctor but mine is aggressive when it comes to rehabbing the injury.
Confused. Why are you laughing?
I rolled my right ankle playing tennis. I had previously ignored some soreness in that ankle and was about to run to my left and push with my right foot and the ankle rolled only slightly. I felt a loud pop and that was all of that. I completely ruptured the perineal tendon and found out that there was an accessory bone the size of a quarter sitting in the middle of that tendon. When the tendon snapped, it pulled the accessory bone up to my ankle. Long story short, I got surgery. The doc removed the bone and pieced the tendon back together. I was out for 4 to 5 months, but with PT and weight training I am now back on the courts playing a high level of tennis. Able to run fast and move laterally just fine.
Had surgery 12 years ago on my ankle tore the ligaments connecting my tibia and fibula together, 2 years ago had to go to the doctor was diagnosed with peroneal tendonitis I'm just glad I finally figured out why was in pain for the past 2 years.
Thanks for the explanation!
2 years ago I’ve had right lateral ligament repair surgery wish him a speedy recovery tough injury.
I enjoy your channel because the videos are so analytical. What is the typical duration for recovery from this triple tear surgery? And in your professional opinion, would Zverev ever be able to maintain his high level of play? Also, where are the "spare" tendons taken from for reconstructing these ligaments?
Can you make a video about the foot condition Rafa Nadal is having since a long time and the way it affects and the treatment???
Rafa's foot condition is STEROIDS.
I've sprained my ankles about 5/6 times thus far in 19 years and recently got an x-ray done with my most recent sprain, no torn ligaments or fracture! Just a really bad sprain, the worst run-of-the-mill sprain I've seen though. These videos educate me on what I've been damaging and help me understand how I can prevent future injuries.
Idk what happened to the video where you were talking about the boxer that was disoriented and started punching the air. Unfortunately the dude died right now, rip to him.
Can you do a video of Darnell Nurse playing the entire playoffs on a torn hip flexor?
I had lateral ankle sprain while playing bandmenton. While stratching and landing on heal , it caused inversion. But it was not 90 degrees inversion. Doctor is suspecting grade III ATFL tear after looing at MRI. After 25 days there is not pain at ATFL. I am getting pain at CFL.
Almost first 😜 thanks for the video. Perfect as always!
Had this surgery 1 year ago. My ankle will never be the same. Numb and painful.
Could you make a video about Rafa Nadal's foot nerves?
Appreciations
Hi Doc! Have you got information on Kai Sotto's injury?
What's the prognosis and how long is the convalescence?
Im surprised he only tore those ligaments and didnt break any bones. I did a similar thing as he did and I only had some grade 1 sprains and strains, but I had like 4 broken bones. Im pretty sure his recovery will take a bit longer than he expects.
As was mentioned he might have had an avulsion fracture
more info on ligaments and tendons please
Please discuss the surgery techniques? Are they using resorbable sutures? Are their any permanent metal anchors or screws? Are their graphts? What’s the rehab time to be playing tennis at his level? Should he wait a full year before playing?
I would love to hear that he is improving. I heard critics say he shouldn't have lost to jiri but firt that guy is good second he's basically coming off such a servere injury and no one is gonna take it easy on him. I hope he doesn't push himself too hard I'd rather him pull out of matches to prolong his career then have a major setback. Everyone wrote him off years ago saying he can never be the best he's a type 1 diabetic. But he did and he went toe to toe on a surface he was ok at with Rafa. He was becoming one of the best clay court players in the world when he got hurt he already was the 3rd best active hard court player. Win 7 titkes and an Olympic gold the year before we tcti the US Open afi Al the year before that. Doctor can you do a video with what you see in his next loss or victory? I'm hoping victory I want to see him land and use his legs to produce that back hand I want to see if he can hit 220km. I think it will take him all season to get back into shape and I hate to say that because he wanted the slam so badly. But tennis is a sport that you have to play everyday the better you are the more days in a row. When he played well he was playing 75 matches. 400 hours. Slams are gonna be hard when you have to win 3 sets. Does he wear something now because people dont realize how much sliding is done esspecilly when coming to the net which he will be challenged. Is there an example of an athlete tennis or any other sport that tore all 3 and came back and played well?
frigg'n ouch!
He just played and was toyed with by Tiafo to run back and forth. I was worried just seeing that. What would you say his chances are to become the player he was would he ever at 25 top 3 with that power and speed of is this a career changed? That speed and court coverage and will it impact the serve when u come down and land? Can we expect a guy who's his size but only about 180 to heal 100 percent will there be scarring. He mentioned bone bruise back in September causing him pain I honestly thought that was too early to come back. Thoughts can you make another video?
Thanks for the update Brian !! Had a big ankle sprain 1 month ago and completly torn 2 of 3 of my ligament! As you said in your video it not require surgery in the first place. Do you think i can FULLY recover with a lot of physio or my ankle will never be the same again ??
I don't think he will respond lol but like he said, the treatments will depend from person to person i.e. in this case they opted for surgery because Alexander is a pro athlete. I don't know your case but if you aren't a pro athlete, then the prognosis and treatment will be different. Ultimately you should just listen to your doctor's advice and stick to the physio plan. What we need to restore isn't the integrity of the ligaments per se because we can't really control the healing process of the body. What we need to restore is the proprioceptive function of the ankle joint because during ankle sprains, it isn't only the ligaments or bones that are injured. There is a structure known as the sinus tarsi (you can just go look it up) which is basically a conduit of nerves that is responsible for proprioception (space awareness). This is the function that people kind of loses when they sprain their ankles which also makes them prone to repetitive ankle sprains. I hope this helps and I wish you all the best on your recovery!
@@jeremychristian5445 thanks for your very interesting response, I will check for sinus tarsi structure ! Yes ofc for my case I will not go to surgery and will try to recover via physio, my question was more if I can comeback at 100% with only physio :) but I guess yes with a lot of time and exercice I will able to comeback to sport at 100% !
@@gabrielfernandezcasa2372 what sport do you play?
@@jeremychristian5445 I play basketball, I had ankle sprain by landing on someone's foot
@@gabrielfernandezcasa2372 same thing happened to me and it was from my own teammate who doesn’t care btw. I’m just trying to recover from the pain. I was injured 3 years ago and kept playing due to having tournaments. A few months ago I decided to finally rest and get help. I had to alternate how I walk, I’ve done ultrasound treatments and electric treatments, and I try to massage it a lot. Icing and elevation and I recently started to gain mobility in my foot. Now I just have a small annoying sharp pain after standing too long. Recently a doctor said I just need to rest and wear more comfortable shoes. My battle now is finding time to rest because I have a job that doesn’t allow me to haha peace and healings to you and everyone else
How about another Zverev update re: his most recent "bone edema" injury?
Rolled my ankle (inversion) skateboarding and lateral bone went all the way to the ground while leg was straight ended up needing a brostrom repair for instability 3 months after injury and needed a torn tibial tendon repaired. Rehabbing the two together makes me wonder if my ankle can’t handle the amount of stress from the surgery cause 4 months after surgery and everything still bothering me. Have it on video too wish this guy reviewed submissions of average people and not just professionals lol
Can you make a video about the boxing death in South Africa?
Can you do a video on Nadal's foot situation?
There's alot of nerves running around there. Hope whatever his official diagnosis was, didn't cause any nerve damage.
Can you review Simiso Buthelezi’s boxing injury which led to hospitalization and death.
he did, it's been taken down
We gonna ever get a NHL Worst injuries reaction???😢 part 2 obv
I hoped this wasn’t too bad but I’m kinda worried Zverev might never compete at a major again
Can you explain who the surgery is performed? Just stitch the ligaments back together?
Why was the Simiso Buthelezi reaction removed?
Lots of new info had come out and especially with his death, the video felt too outdated and incomplete to keep it up
@@BrianSuttererMD oh, I didn't realize he died. That's sad to read, thank you for replying.
Now I understand why I could walk after I broke my fibula after a fall from 3 meters hight ( the metalic ladher actually trepped my right leg at the middle, which took all the shock of the fall and avoid a back damage !! Thank God! I was asking my boss to let me do an X-ray because my foot became to swallow after a week , but she denied , saying that I can walk ! The doctor gave me 10 days of rest for recovery , but my boss refused me , so I had to change my working place !
Thanks a lot for up-dating about Alexander's injury ! I was afraid he might need a surgery ! I was lucky and I didn't have any big pains when I sprained my ankle few times in my life , nor when I broke my left arm ( the upper end of humeral bone had a perfect cut : didn't touch any nerve !) But I had to stay all summer wrapped in tight bandages around the chest - it was July when it happened ! And I couldn't stay motionless : I had a beautiful garden to take care of and my mom knew that something is wrong and the second x-ray showed that the pieces of the bone aren't glued together and I had to stay another 3 weeks with a tighter bandage around : no shower🚿, no cool in that heat ! 😂😂😂
My second doctor ( who was at the hospital where my mom worked as a nurse ) didn't believe that I jumped from the train , until he saw the X-RAY ! ( This is the stupidity that you can have at 22years old , when you see many movies with people jumping from the train : these should be banned for kids under 25 yo !!!) 😂😂😂
But I'M very much afraid of flying with any plane ! I can't do it ; even if I plan to visit my brother, who works in Rome , and I'M crazy to watch LIVE a 🎾 match in Rome ! Maybe next year , but only on land journey ( I stay with my prayers'book in my hand when my brother is flying from Italy to Romania almost each year when he comes home !) 😇
Thank you for this update. Zverev was playing great. It would have been a tough match for Rafa.
Shame it ended that way. Though that injury doesn't erase the fact that Zverev is a domestic abuser. Strange how some people just started to praise him after the injury. Illogical.
@@twks123 He's a tennis player, I was commenting in regards to his tennis match. His issues are his. Hopefully he can get help. Nobody's perfect, not even you.
I have surgery done for a meniscus repair but in my follow up my doctor told me I hade a discoid meniscus
Do I have that in my other knee to ans it it a bad thing?
Now I have a strong wish to change my working place again : to be a nurse in the hospital where Sascha is having his surgery ! 😅😍😍😍
Dear Sascha you are so sweet ! 💝💝💝
That Flint Tropic jersey is singing to me:" LOVE MY SEXYYYYYYYY" wink wink lol
Would like to hear your take on the south African boxer that just died when he was seen shadow boxing in the ring on an empty corner
I believe he deleted his video. Could be showing the footage is a little more questionable now, particularly without a warning.
Would this be considered a dislocation
you misspelled his name in the title
How much will it take for Zverev for fully recover?
6 months to practice. Another 6 till he can attempt to get back on the circuit and longer till he's back to being almost as good as he was before the injury.
Edit: All this is obviously subject to individual recovery and treatment.
@@wordsinahandle OMG! he'll never win a slam in a million years....🤕
Weaksauce - I've sprained my ankle worst playing football. Leg got trapped behind me with someone falling on me and all I heard was crunching. No break but Grade 3 Sprain and whole foot was swollen and black. Crutches for a week but I was young at the time. 16 or 17 but it did take almost a year for it to feel full strength. All these athletes running to get surgery. Jordan broke his foot and let it heal naturally. Grant Hill got multiple surgeries and ruined his career.
When you tear ligaments you need surgery to reattach them. If you were ok after a week of crutches, you didn't tear any ligaments. Torn ligaments are never as strong as they were previously, so tearing one is essentially life changing as far as athleticism goes.
This guy needs to talk to Stephen Curry about them ankles
Shame it ended that way. Though that injury doesn't erase the fact that Zverev is a domestic abuser. Strange how some people just started to praise him after the injury. Actually Illogical.

innocent until proven guilty
Turns out he now had bone edema as a result of his surgery. Surgery is bad. Only causes more damage. Come on Doc. You guys just make people worse
