Sergio's knee surgery

[Curtiz]

Knee injuries are no joke. I tore my patellar tendon which resulted in my knee cap moving upwards three inches. It was open knee surgery. I'm back to playing basketball and doing the things I like doing but it took well over a year for it to feel 'normal' again. NBA player Caron Butler suffered the same injury and came back a year later. Sergio had 14 months recovery time. No excuses.

With knees , ankles etc you can't put a time frame on them. I know people who are 4 years down the line and still not healed, knees don't heal well at all....it's to do with the lack of blood supply which obviously carries white blood cells.

These guys think a 40 year old man can just heal from a Knee Surgery like magic and fight in a championship fight lol.

Good post man

These are signs of a torn meniscus and are not relevant to the situation because Sergio already had his surgery and has healed. So what your saying here is that the surgery did absolutely nothing? In boxing if you get hit flush with a power shot your legs tend to buckle or "wobble", correct?

I know lot's of people that have surgery and relapse.

If you knew anything about injuries like this you would know this.

My friend had surgery on his ankle at 21, had a year out for the surgery and recovery. Went into a tackle and it snapped straight away. He had the surgery again at 23 and thankfully it's ok again.

Surgery isn't magic my friend.

Symptons of a "none" serious injury


You may not be able to straighten your knee

The knee can also feel "wobbly" or unstable,

or give way without warning.

especially torn ligaments, you may have increased pain, swelling, a feeling that the knee is unstable, and difficulty walking.

Pretty much saw all of that during the fight.

An example of the knee giving way far too easily would be knockdowns 2 & 3.

Sergio didn't even look dazed like somebody who got knocked half way across the ring should look.

those symptoms are right after the surgery..........(not after the recovery time) after recovery the leg should be fully stable

I have torn my ACL and meniscus before, at the same time. I had the surgery in 2006 and it still hurts now. I am also not 39 and don't get punched to make a living so I imagine an older person who really trains would have issues. Good win for Cotto not a great win in my eyes.

you literally named symptoms an hour after the surgery

Understandable, but the point is Sergio had more then enough time to recover from this small surgery and he said he had no issues with his knees. I have to take his word for it because meniscus repairs are common and not too severe.
