MENISCUS TEARS COMES FROM CUTTING
AND PIVOTING...

NBA PLAYERS DO THAT ALL GAME LONG
HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HIM ATTACKING THE RIM
NOR NOT CHANGING HIS GAME.




​

People have really exposing their lack of knowledge in this thread. If people actually did some research, they would see he had gained back some of his explosiveness and athleticism & was still driving & finishing around the rim like his younger self.



And his career is not done, all this retirement talk is foolish. Yes it's is 4th knee surgery in the past 5 years, but a meniscus tear is not as serious as an ACL tear.

The new study suggests that when those athletes do make it back on to the court, they'll be able to play at the same level as before they got injured.

The meniscus is made up of two C-shaped pieces of cartilage in the knee, separating the thighbone and the shinbone. A twisting force on the knee can cause the cartilage to tear, as can a hit from the side in a contact sport.

That's why meniscus tears are generally more common in football than in basketball, researchers said. But the new findings suggest that they should be added to the list of traditional basketball knee injuries, along with jumper's knee and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears.

While one in five of the athletes never returned to play another NBA game after the injury, those that did return generally got back to their pre-injury playing level. That was based on a calculation that weighed athletes' points, rebounds, fouls and turnovers in the seasons right before and after the injury.

The athletes missed about six weeks worth of practice and games before returning to play, on average.

Recovery time from a meniscus tear depends on how extensive the injury is and whether it needs surgery, said Dr. Mark Drakos, an orthopedic surgeon at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York.

"There are certain guys that have gotten back in a couple weeks and there's other people... that take more like three or four months," Drakos, who wasn't involved in the new study, told Reuters Health.

But he said that the findings were generally good news for both professional and recreational athletes who suffer a meniscus injury.

"I would be encouraged in terms of the fact that a lot of these guys return to play at a high level," Drakos said.

Newman, who also wasn't linked to the research, told Reuters Health that he wondered if there were more NBA players out there with slow-onset meniscal injuries that hadn't been recorded in the injury database, because they kept playing through the pain or just weren't that bothered by it.

"I can't remember a professional basketball player who did not have some minimal cartilage loss at the knee," he said. "It's very unusual to see a player who's been playing for a while and has a pristine-looking knee."

Most NBA players recover from meniscus tears

Here are the differences between the two surgeries.

Repairing the meniscus
This is the preferred option among younger players because it provides the best chance to elongate their careers. While the meniscus is not essential for living or even walking, having one sure helps deal with the day-to-day stress that comes with running, jumping and cutting for 82 games (plus playoffs, practices, workouts, summer hoops and more) a year. The meniscus acts as a cushion between knee bones; not having it puts more stress on the rest of a player's knee.

Repairing the meniscus is a difficult surgical process that takes time to heal. Should Rose elect to try to repair the meniscus, he will be out for the season and could be in jeopardy of missing the beginning of next season as well. That's how much time is needed for the tissue to reform. It certainly guarantees nothing -- Rose himself elected to repair the meniscus last time and look what happened -- but it provides the best chance for a long career.

That said, if the meniscus is already heavily damaged, repairing it is impossible using current technology. It's not clear yet if Rose's knee has reached that point.

Russell Westbrook is the other notable player to repair a torn meniscus recently. After a couple setbacks, he's back and better than ever.

Removing the meniscus
As noted earlier, menisci aren't essential for normal, everyday life. They actually degenerate over time; one reason we feel pain when we try to exercise as we get older is that there's less cushion in the knee to absorb pressure. Removing the meniscus only accelerates that process. It is done often when it is unrepairable due to repeated trauma or deterioration. What good is trying to fix knee tissue that is already heavily damaged?

Removing the meniscus entirely would actually give Rose the best chance of returning to the court soonest. Depending on the severity of this tear, he could return in six to eight weeks, allowing him to play in the postseason if he so desires. But it also comes with major long-term consequences: he will play in pain for the rest of his career and that career will be significantly shorter than it would have been if the repaired meniscus held up.

There are two options for Rose's meniscus surgery

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

he played with 2 all stars in jimmy and gasol in chicago and rose still took the most shots on the team & was awful.Rose been garbage for years

and his knicks numbers irrelevant he playing for a contract and the knicks have a losing record when rose leads them in scoring or fga's.Knick fans been complaining about rose all season.

Knicks fans are dumb. They were complaining about him, because he didn't get KP involved in the offense as much as they would like. The reason the Knicks were trash this season is they don't play defense. And they will continue to be trash until they do, it doesn't matter if Rose is on the team or not.

Dude was trash on defense and had tunnel vision, arguably the worst defender on the Knicks along with Melo. At anyone thinking he was good this season.

 

[Wacky D]

not a bad injury.

he'll be in san Antonio or somewhere next season anyway.

 

[Tim2520]

Damn he was once my favorite player to watch.

[Scott Larock]

nikka plays like a running back, cuts harder than AD smh. Except AD isn't required to leave the ground as much.

 

[8====D]

I saw this on the sports network and the first thing I said was. . .

"Water is wet"
:reallynow:

 

[DlAMONDZ]

Once you blow ur knee out the first time, it's over. I know it all too well

​

cutting not so much...

more like heavy force and pivot.. if his cutting requires him to apply a great deal of strength to his legs.. i guess yes.. but my money would be on that over energetic jump and landing he does..

 

[beenz]

russell westbrook has had multiple meniscus tears and it hasn't slowed him in the least. this is :rose3: third meniscus tear. but only the first on his left knee if that's any consolidation.

 

[Absolut da poet ®]

damn

don't think this injury has to be the end but... I feel like it should be

coli doctors y'all

A New York-based knee specialist warns that Derrick Rose‘s style of play will make him vulnerable to injuries for the rest of his career, writes Marc Berman of The New York Post.


Dr. Armin Tehrany of Manhattan Orthopedic Care said the meniscus tear that resulted in Rose’s fourth knee operation was a result of repeated strain, rather than one specific incident. Tehrany identifies the problem as degenerative cartilage that has eroded over nine years in the NBA.


“If I was a betting man I’d say it happens again,’’ he added.

“When I watch him and see how he plays, I think it’s because [of] how incredibly explosive he is,’’ Tehrany added. “He drives to the basket so much. The speed that he’s able to move, his explosive style, that puts a lot more pressure on his knees and his body. That could lead to a breakdown. The mind can be much more powerful than the body. What the mind wants to do and what the body can accommodate unfortunately isn’t the same.”


Long-term health will be a concern as the 28-year-old enters the free agent market this summer. Rose managed to play 64 games this season [and 66 a year ago in Chicago], but he has now had two surgeries on each knee and has to be considered a health risk going forward.
