McPake

[an-dee]

Saw on Twitter he's had another operation, but haven't seen it anywhere else. It's a blow for him if true, and if it is I really can't see him coming back from it at his age and with his injury history. Wish him all the best, though.

Described as a"clean-up" operation ... whatever that means.

Being a clean up, this will be part of the initial treatment and not a new injury. 

Not too fussed about this as ops now are greatly advanced than they were a few years ago. 

 

Good luck McPake...??

With some sports injury operations, including torn/detached ligaments, there may be bits of 'scar tissue' that form when the muscle around the injured area heals, or even tiny fragments of bone from a 'splinter' break...scar tissue is 'hard' & has no elasticity, and can cause inflamation & irritation/sharp pain when the joint's moving. Keyhole surgery is usually enough to fix it.

I had some of this left over in a broken/dislocated shoulder (involuntary skiing 'somersault'), and couldn't raise the arm above my shoulder....but as I 'wasn't important enough'  the solution wasn't a keyhole op, just forcing my arm up under local anaesthetic until there was 'a satisfying tearing sound' (the consultant's expression....definitely not mine!).
