Boston teams have won roughly a thousand championships this century?I need a silver lining. Someone give me a silver lining.

We deserved that.Boston teams have won roughly a thousand championships this century?
No surgery necessary would be my preferred outcome.So we’re probably praying for just a stress fracture surgery and not a tendon repair.
Eh. He's a professional athlete--I'd sure as hell assume he'd be seeing a specialist.I’m no doctor but I’m guessing there are a range of X-ray results that don’t end with a recommendation to see a specialist.
Doesn’t the injury make a 4/160 offer from the Knicks inevitable?Maybe we can stop the talk about Hayward getting trading and opting out now. And when he gets back we just appreciate shit.
If the doctor looked at an X-ray and saw a hairline fracture in one bone in a finger or part of the hand i don’t think he’s seeing a specialist.Eh. He's a professional athlete--I'd sure as hell assume he'd be seeing a specialist.
Only if it requires amputation.Doesn’t the injury make a 4/160 offer from the Knicks inevitable?
We warned you about your habit of violently masturbating to pony porn.Broken hands are a bit of a specialty for me - had 3 hand surgeries and probably a 4th on deck.

No major rush on the surgery other than starting a timeline for his return.Not that I know anything, but if it was displaced - wouldn’t he need surgery, like, tonight?

What's important to remember is there are roughly 20,000 bones in the hand and wrist (hand is kind of a vague term when used like it has been here), and any little crack or fracture counts as a "broken hand". Obviously, flexibility and lack of pain are important even in a non-shooting hand, but with some of my broken hands, I've been able to continue fighting and get surgery later. It can be a pretty minor thing.
Any time there's surgery, though, you need a layoff, even for a little scope.
Also, apparently some breaks - like in the scaphoid - don't show up right away and are hard to notice by non-specialists.

I appreciate that medicine is a collaborative field that depends on the sharing of data and experience, but next time you refer to one of my discoveries, please give me the curtesy of a citation. I realize this isn't the NEJM, but plagiarism is never acceptable among colleagues.Could be four weeks, could be three months... there's a lot of bones in the hand with a wild range of treatment potentials

yea, I like this glass half full thought process.Losing a couple marginal regular-season wins doesn't matter much. Non-shooting hand. Lots more opportunity for Tatum and Brown, plus they can give Langford and Javonte some run.
It really sucks for Gordon given what happened prior and how well he was playing, but I think this is a minor speedbump that might have some positive developmental side-effects.
I think we were just traumatized by what happened in 2017. This really isn't a huge deal imo.yea, I like this glass half full thought process.
Injuries inevitably happen, its part of the game, a good time for the C's to build their depth by playing the kids.
Gordon's confidence is brimming, he'll be rested and rearing to go when he comes back
I'm fine with that. Those are all guys who would benefit from a bit more run, even if it costs a win here or there.It seems likely that the Hayward minutes are going to go to a mix of Enes Kanter (with Grant shifting some minutes to the 4), Brad Wanamaker, and Javonte Green, with some situational minutes for Ojeleye and Edwards.
So if it is one of the 2nd-5th metacarpals, would you assume we hear a 3-4 week recovery? 4-6?Although there are lots of bones in the "hand", often if its one of the wrist bones (8) or finger bones (14), they will report as wrist or finger fracture.
Obviously this is just speculation, but more likely than not it's one of the 5 metacarpals. They also often will specify if its the 1st, so my money is 2nd-5th metacarpal.
This fracture can occasionally be complex if it involves the joint, but that's not the norm, especially with a basketball injury.
Dr. Flynn: The most likely fracture with that mechanism is a metacarpal fracture (the long bones in the hand that are like extensions of the fingers). Aron Baynes fractured his fourth metacarpal last season, had surgery and was back a month later.
Yeah, but he came back playing like Aaron Baynes!From the other Dr. Flynn over at BSJ. I am hopeful that this is the case.
