Injury Updates

I’m a retired shoulder surgeon and this sounds correct. The post op shoulder tends to heal stronger but often with less range of motion. He should be fine and this procedure should have been done way back









Not a retired surgeon. Stay positive!!!!!

At some point a pattern becomes a problem... We've had a 'freak' amount of injuries the last couple years which have to be traced back to something. Not sure where else to look than S&C, and I'm no medical professional, but this just seems inordinate at this point.

Agreed. A poor S&C program increases your risk of injury as does a poor flow style basketball scheme.

Rumor I heard is that training staff thinks it's scar tissue. No structural damage. They are working with surgeon and they are being cautious because kid wants to play through it. Get him healthy.

I m a surgeon but not ortho. This sounds right, the scar tissue post op is not that uncommon. Generally improves witn time, needs nsaids n physical therapy. Might get steroid injection here n there. Could also require arthroscopic surgery in the off season to scrap some scar tissue off. Prognsis is not bad at all

My concern is Gilbert’s activity - driving recklessly into the lane - is not part of a regular shoulder patient post surgery recovery. It doesn’t end well.

This is ridiculous, I can't remember a stretch of years like this where we have experienced soo many injuries.

Ok, who stole Jobu's rum?!!!

"soo many injuries."
True but the only long term injury that concerns me is Gilbert's. The rest are not season ending like last year.

I mean let's be honest they're a much better team with Alterique and it doesn't look good. Another scary situation is Terry, he always seems to be twisting or tweaking something, seems somewhat frail and that is a concern.

Except for Gilbert this year these injuries are no big deal and are not out of the ordinary. Time to suck it up and move on. Last year was a different story and Gilbert is just a continuation of his same problem.

My assumption is Gilbert will unfortunately not be a significant contributor at all for UConn at any point ever due to his shoulder. For his sake, I hope I'm completely wrong.

Exactly. Well stated dr.



I’m Still not a surgeon. But not bad.

Gilbert should have been recruited over.

Only for our program are incoming recruits scared off by mediocre and unreliable players.
