I hope Lee keeps his redshirt

[Grip220]

Are we talking mini Spencer Lee or regular Spencer Lee?

Both

1. I’ve never heard of post-docs teaching med school classes.
2. I want the orthopedic surgeon that is best with their hands. Not the one that got the best grade on their med school chemistry test.

It seems a lot of people are talking out of their you know what on this thread.

I TA'd med school labs as a PhD student too.

So, can a person get half baked on a half pipe?

Askin’ for a friend.

Maybe you should ask Shaun White.

Anyone know the actual date of Spencer Lee's surgery?

I had my ACL repaired in 1999 by a world renowned orthopedic surgeon (not at UIHC but worked closely with Amendola). Throughout my surgical procedure & rehab he stressed that it was of critical importance that the tensile strength of the repaired & healthy joints were nearly identical. His professional opinion was that there is a higher incidence of recurrence or tearing of the healthy joint when the tensile strength of the two joints was significantly different. In other words, he & Amendola would NEVER propose what your sister is suggesting.

I also had over 1/2 of the meniscus removed from my knee. 18 years later & into my mid 40's, I run 30-60 miles a week with no knee problems whatsoever.

I wouldn't trust a neurosurgeon for orthopedic advice as I wouldn't trust a gynecologist for advice on my prostate.

In 1976 I had my ACL and MCL repaired, and 3/4 of my cartilage removed in two surgeries by a local surgeon in Muscatine. I was wrestling live way less than 10 months later. I was running 35-40 road races a year at under 6 minute pace in my mid-thirties and wrestling with both my sons (and a lot of their teammates) when in my 40's and 50's.

I absolutely don't want to see Spencer Lee on the mat this year if he's not absolutely 100% healed. I don't want his talent wasted on a deal like Stoll has gone through the past two years. I know a 125 pounder is a different animal than a 285, and I know Stoll isn't a three-time World Champion, but I really don't want to see Lee injured because he returned too soon. Sure, he could get injured anyway, any time during the next four years, but it won't be from something avoidable. Statistics have shown since way back in the 70's that 10 months minimum greatly lowers the chances of reinjury. Let's give this kid a chance to be the stud we all know he is.

BTW, I just had a knee replacement on that same knee at age 59.

This +100

No idea where he supposedly stands right now, but I see no upside for HIM to wrestle this season, and lots of downside.

If she is a surgeon that means she did a 5 year residency. In that time you train in multiple specialties. Ortho is typically one of those. So she may not be an expert, but probably has training in the area and is a board certified general surgeon.

As far as I'm aware, UIHC has no female orthopedic surgeons who completed a spine fellowship.

I have been out of it lately. Is there a ham egg he is going to pull his shirt soon? Before midland results? Sorry if I missed it on this but long thread and not been keeping up.

Has there been real tialk?

Doesn't look like today is the day.

Just in the Atomic Fireman's thread.

I dont see a need to justify the risk.
Yes, anything can happen down the road but if your more healed, recovery down the road has a better chance. Lee needs to be a rsf and train. Enjoy the status for a little while without huge pressure. Get used college and get grades solid. If we were 10 points off anyone’s national title count. Maybe. Just not enough pros to make it worth it to me.

My hope is he waits till certainty. And, I'm one of those evil PSU fans. He is a Van Gogh, treat with the care it deserves.
