1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,120
Speaker 1: Twenty one away from six. We got injuries to talk about.

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 1: We do it every week with one of the experts

3
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:10,039
Speaker 1: from Ortho Sincy Orthopedics and Sports Medicine. The great thing

4
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 1: about Orthosincy is they have specialists and locations all over

5
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: the Tri State and this includes walk in orthopedic urgent

6
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 1: care at five locations with extended evening and weekend hours

7
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: in Edgewood and Anderson. You can learn more at orthosinc

9
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 1: Fritches with us from Ortho Sinsey. Let's begin by talking

10
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: about samajp Urin officially week to week with a high

11
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,160
Speaker 1: ankle sprain. Let's begin with that. What's exactly a high

12
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 1: ankle sprain and how does it differ from a typical

13
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 1: ankle sprain?

14
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 2: Absolutely good question, and so high ankle sprains happen above

15
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 2: the ankle joint. It's a little higher up on your leg.

16
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 2: Has to do with the connection between your tibia and

17
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 2: fibula the lower leg bones, as opposed to a typical

18
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 2: ankle sprain, which has to do with the ligaments connecting

19
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 2: your leg bones to the foot bumtons. And so we'll

20
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 2: higher up.

21
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 1: So something like this. There's obviously different levels and severities

22
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: of high ankle sprains. What are they?

23
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, so severity of the high ankle sprains has to

24
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 2: do with the degree of instability that's caused by it.

25
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 2: So sprains are ultimate due to ultimately due to small

26
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 2: tears in your ligaments, and if those tears are bigger,

27
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 2: they tend to be more stable and more severe usually

28
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 2: cause greater amount of symptoms like pain with putting weight

29
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 2: on your leg.

30
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: Is it a good sign that for Samage in particular,

31
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: that he was able to walk off the field under

32
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: his own power.

33
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 2: Yes? Absolutely, I would think that if he had a

34
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,960
Speaker 2: higher grade sprain that it would be difficult for him

35
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 2: to put weight on it, and so certainly reassuring.

36
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: Let's talk about Joe Flacco who played on Sunday and

37
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: played extraordinarily well, and Zach Taylor after the game said, look,

38
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: this was a guy who during the week couldn't lift

39
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: his arm, couldn't raise his hand. You would in a classroom.

40
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: He's dealing with a sprained ac joint. I just want

41
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 1: to know this, how could you go from not being

42
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: able to raise your arm to being able to hang

43
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: forty two points on another team in an NFL game.

44
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 2: I mean, it's certainly impressive. Yeah, I think he had

45
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 2: some good rehab in a milder injury. Your ac joint

46
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 2: is the connection of your clavical or collarbone to the

47
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 2: scapula or your shoulder blade. When they talk about a

48
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,399
Speaker 2: shoulder separation, that's the kind of injury. At My guess

49
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 2: is his was a less severe one, so that they've

50
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 2: been able to kind of rehab them, pad them up,

51
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 2: and get them feeling good enough to get through because

52
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 2: I mean, he had an amazing game last weekend.

53
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, they don't play this weekend, which I'm sure helps,

54
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 1: But is this the sort of thing where he's just

55
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: going to have to figure out a way to manage

56
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: the pain the rest of the season more or less.

57
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 2: I mean, these injuries are common, so the therapists and

58
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 2: trainers are used to dealing with them and getting them

59
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 2: through the season. Usually for the lower grade springs of

60
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 2: the ac joint, it's about kind of getting them through,

61
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 2: and I mean I think this is just going to

62
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,239
Speaker 2: nag them a little bit for the next month or two.

63
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: All Right, Now, I want to ask about another quarterback.

64
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: Jade and Daniels of the Washington Commanders, who left a

65
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: lopsided game on Sunday night against Seattle had his arm

66
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: in a cast as he left the field. It's been

67
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: reported that he has a dislocated left elbow. It's his

68
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: non throwing arm. Dislocated elbow seems sort of self explanatory.

69
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,519
Speaker 1: But take me into the particulars of the injury, of course.

70
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw the video and it was a gruesome one. Yeah. Essentially,

71
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 2: is where your forearmbones connect to your humorous your upper armbone,

72
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 2: and when that pops out of place, it's like a

73
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 2: hinge joint, and so it can pop out and cost

74
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 2: some associate injuries like ligament tears or fractures. So that's

75
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 2: what happened with him, assuming you got to put back

76
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 2: in place on the field and they put them in

77
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 2: a cast, and so he's at least working in the

78
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 2: right direction.

79
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: What does the treatment for this sort of injury look like?

80
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 2: It really varies on the severity. I mean, based on

81
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 2: what the reports we've seen thus far, it sounds like

82
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 2: it was simply a dislocation. I think he's lucky in

83
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 2: that sense. Oftentimes he's are associated with fractures or breaks

84
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 2: in the bone associated with big ligament injuries that need

85
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 2: a surgery, and so in his case, if he didn't

86
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 2: have a big fracture or something that he had to repair,

87
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 2: then it involves putting him in a cast for a

88
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 2: period of time, usually a week or two, then working

89
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 2: on getting the elbow moving again because it tends to

90
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 2: stiffen up quickly, so transitioning into a brace that allows

91
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 2: him to bend in straight, and really rehabbing the heck

92
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 2: out of that elbow for the next few months.

93
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: Is it made easier due to the fact that it's

94
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: not his throwing arm.

95
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 2: Certainly, and so I mean, if it was this throwing arm,

96
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 2: I'd imagine he'd needed in tip top shape in order

97
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,919
Speaker 2: to pass again. And so it'd probably be a career

98
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 2: end or sorry, a season ending injury for him. Because

99
00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 2: it's his other elbow, he's not requiring as much it

100
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 2: and so I don't know, certainly we can speculate a

101
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 2: little bit here, but hopefully give them get them back

102
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 2: a little sooner than the end of the season.

103
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll see. There you go, Doctor John Fritch. Orthos

104
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 1: Sincy I say it every week because it's true. The

105
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: great thing about Orthos sinc is They have specialists on

106
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 1: locations all over the Tri State. This includes walk in

107
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 1: orthopedic urgent care weekdays nine a m. To nine pm

108
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: and on Saturdays nine am to one pm at both

109
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: Edgewood and Anderson. Is easy because you do not need

110
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: an appointment and it's definitely cheaper than going to an er.

111
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: Whenever you have an urgent orthopedic injury, go to Orthosincy
