Brought to you by orth 4 00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:08,360 Speaker 1: of Colorado Hospital, part of Common Spirit Health. Go to 5 00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:11,560 Speaker 1: Ortho Colorado dot or Doctor Steinder. Appreciate you giving us 6 00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:12,600 Speaker 1: a few minutes. How are you, sir? 7 00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:16,880 Speaker 2: I'm doing great? Happy Martin Luther King Junior day yep, 8 00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:17,759 Speaker 2: saying to you, Doc. 9 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:23,600 Speaker 1: So generally speaking on an injury like bow, Nick says, 10 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:28,280 Speaker 1: what sort of timeline after surgery is he looking at? 11 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,240 Speaker 2: So? I've been picking the brains of the smartest foot 12 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,240 Speaker 2: angle guys, I know, like one of my partner's Pete 13 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,879 Speaker 2: deal and the consensus tended to be among the sports 14 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,520 Speaker 2: medicine foot angle guys. The bow has suffered a spiral 15 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 2: fracture of his fibula. Kind it's the only explanation why 16 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 2: he was able as tough as an ombre as he is, 17 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,319 Speaker 2: how he could put any weight on and play those 18 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:55,080 Speaker 2: last couple snaps. What that means is it's a very 19 00:00:55,120 --> 00:01:00,160 Speaker 2: simple fracture to plate and put some screws in. Where 20 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 2: is this outside outside chance? What he needs is to have, 21 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,759 Speaker 2: you know, have surgery tomorrow. By all reports that the 22 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 2: plates and screws that are there, because it's such a 23 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:15,199 Speaker 2: simple fracture that he could almost be back to play 24 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 2: by the Super Bowl. It's this crazy thought. The crazier 25 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 2: things have happened. Come on, man, I'm just saying so. 26 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 1: Without obviously seeing the X ray and understanding you know 27 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 1: exactly how it happened or what happened. When you talk 28 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: about the spiral fracture in the fib in the fibula. 29 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,279 Speaker 2: The little bone on the outside, Yeah. 30 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 1: Why why is surgery required for something like that? 31 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 2: Great question. It's because that that that bone is lashed 32 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 2: into the ligamentous complex around your ankle joints. So like 33 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 2: when you press on the gas pedal and you're flexing 34 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 2: and dors of flexing and plant are flexing your foot. 35 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 2: If the phibula it now becomes unstable and now you 36 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 2: get hit the next time, then you dislok at your 37 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 2: ankle because you lose that buttressing effect of that skinny 38 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 2: little fibula bone on the outside. But if you plate it, 39 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,920 Speaker 2: and you you know, surgeons would know, you'd use a 40 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 2: locking plate to lock in that fibula, the bone itself 41 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 2: would not be all the way healed, but you could, 42 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 2: you know, maybe numb him up before and it'd be 43 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 2: like the greatest comeback in history. I'm talking like a 44 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 2: wild man. Ten years ago, no one would have talked 45 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 2: this way. But the met staff of the Broncos are 46 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 2: a little more aggressive. I mean, look at our guard return, 47 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 2: you know, nine weeks after just the biceps repair, and 48 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 2: I'm sure we're JK. Dobbins yep, that you get Ben 49 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 2: Powers back what eight or nine weeks out? And now 50 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 2: we're talking about maybe Dobbins making an appearance this weekend. 51 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:54,679 Speaker 1: Okay, So I do want to ask you about Dobbins 52 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,359 Speaker 1: while we have you, because the Broncos quite literally while 53 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 1: we're talking, designated JK. Dobbins return from IR So he's 54 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 1: going to open his practice week. What can we expect. 55 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 2: I think we're going to see the man play. And again, 56 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,920 Speaker 2: this would have been crazy talk ten years ago, but 57 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,359 Speaker 2: surgical techniques are better. He had surgery at Ortho, Colorado 58 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 2: mid November. So here we are eight weeks out and 59 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 2: by all accounts, the man was moving well. He'll go 60 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 2: back with a specialized carbon fiber foot insert that goes 61 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 2: all the way from his heel all the way out 62 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 2: to the toes. You won't to have hardly any flexion 63 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 2: in his foot, but his running cutting should be good. 64 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 2: We just want to make sure that you know that 65 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 2: I'm sure he's been taking care of his hamstrings. You know, 66 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 2: you're kind of a sitting duck for that kind of thing. 67 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 2: But there's no doubt that Dobbins will have been paying 68 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 2: attention to all that well. Doctor Snider him played, he 69 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 2: plays well. You listen. 70 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: We not that we need another smile on a day 71 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 1: that Broncos we are heading too the AFC Championship Game, 72 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 1: but you definitely brought one to us here and I'm 73 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: sure a lot of Broncos fans listening. Hey, doctor Scheinder, 74 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: always great, my friend, Thank you so much for the time. 75 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 2: Likewise, mark me down as a w Okay, thank you doctor. 76 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, that is a win. 77 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:17,279 Speaker 2: That is a massive win.
