Season Ending Hip Surgery for Maynard

I wonder if he has those hips that need the point shaved off, I recall an operation to some with genitic issues, where a point on the bone shaves the cartilage away ?   just guessing.

Some draftees have to Op before they start playing AFL.

    I’ve had one of those! They do exist

    cheers, layzie.  How have you got on ?

    Can you elaborate anymore, on the issue, and resulting injury ?  Treatment, recovery, etc ?

    Wow, poor bloke. It seems like his name is almost always on the injury list.

    Hope he can bounce back.

    Season ending or even career ending?  Nothing has worked for the poor guy.

    Certainly can. It started as a labrum tear while playing indoor soccer and then x-rays  showed the genetic ‘weird shaped’ hips where there isn’t quite enough room in the joint for the hip to move as freely. This inhibits the natural range of motion to an extent, for example sitting on the ground when you bring the knee up to a 90 degree angle and then pull it over the opposite leg the range of motion is quite a bit less than the average. So had the re-shaping done in the form of a hip arthroscopicy.

    I was told if there were any issues on the other side that I’d have to have that side done as well but none thus far 6 years later!

    It’s about 2-3 months off running, hydrotherapy and plenty of exercises to build the strength back up. I remember seeing Jobe Watson when he had his hip issue doing some kind of rehab where he’d throw a medicine ball against a wall side on and thinking what a great idea that was! But I digress. 

    Definitely a good idea to have the procedure done now I reckon.

    That is, IF, we are on the money?

    i think under the circumstances, you're being a bit hard on yourself with the chosen username.

    I've had the same thing. And it was also a torn labrum (doing martial arts) that brought it ( FAI - Femoroacetabular Impingement)  to the fore .... have to have the other one done soon. 

    Apparently a very common deformity which used to go unnoticed and lead to hip replacements in older age (due to the wear and tear on the joint )

    Pretty straight forward stuff if there aren't additional complications - I know Bernard Tomic had it done and I think was back on court after 12 weeks.

    Good luck to Maynard - reckon he'll be fine.

    16 VFL and 1 AFL game last year isn't a bad return for his first season, I think he only had some assorted niggles last year. Then a hip injury this year. As long as they get it right I don't think it will impact his career long term. The main downside is he needs games to develop ASAP, but the trade off here is he can probably do a heap of lighter skill work as he rehabs.

    I still like his potential as a tagger/stoppage specialist, he has the size and athleticism to go with the big name mids.

    Show me the randomized controlled trial of hip surgery in athletes versus sham surgery. There isn’t any! It’s orthopaedic mumbo jumbo. There’s NO EVIDENCE!!! Leave his hip alone! Rest and gentle exercise will heal the pain.

    He's a hard competitor, and big; but we do not know how good he can or can't be, at this time ?

    I think we need one more  power inside player to add to rotations... along with a number of more skilled inside/outside types, who can run and deliver.

    Hopefully some with speed.

     

    We are one paced,,, not slow, but not quick.

    IMO we need a couple more with some breakaway speed, for the mid section of ground.

     

    # so it we trade Tyson, we'll need 2 more inside players.   Hopefully Sloane,,, and maybe one of Maynard or VDB will come good?

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.
