I want the feed from the Webcam mounted on the Surgeon's forehead

You could throw a challenge flag if they use the wrong suture.

How about viewer participation? Should they use:

"a" - hamstring (Vote by calling call 1-800-HAM-STRG)
"b" - patellar tendon (call 1-800-PAT-TNDN)
"c" - cadaver (call 1-800- DEADGUY)

Yep....those need to be 900 numbers. LOL! Maybe GoPro could sponsor the whole thing.

A buddy of mine got a free GoPro and made a video of himself mowing the lawn. He also put it on his 2 year old's helmet when she was on her bigwheel.

athletes seldom have the patellar tendon used in acl surgery as to speed up the recovery. it just leads to tendenitus. they ususally use cadaver tendons. his recovery time will be dictated by how big a rehab monster he is. it's all about rebuilding the strength in the quad.

if they use a cadaver tendon then that would be a full blown rebuild, correct?

not just a simple repair to the ACL like the initial word is trying to call it

right. it's two screws and a new tendon.

just saw a doctor on nfl network describe rg3's surgery and they DID use his patellar...from his left knee. they used his right patellar on his previous surgery. surprised they did that as it is, in effect, an injury to his left knee. he'll surely have to deal with some tendonitis now.

Jerry rice used his - that's how he got the second injury. What you say makes sense. Maybe they can use Dick Jauron as a donor?

Make sure you check the "use by" date.

"That surgeon, he doesn't know what's he's doing! Is he blind? My 90-year old grandma can repair a knee better than that!....in the dark!!

Synder's an idiot! A real fool!! Yeah, sure, he's a billionaire and I'm unemployed and put cash in stripper's g-strings....thanks (the person who shall not be named in the Packers thread)!....but ANYONE would know better than to hire a quote, 'surgeon' like this jerk! Obviously, he lied and he's really a Cowboys fan!!"

I consulted with an ortho surgeon. Apparently, there is a higher rate of infection and lower quality with cadaver parts. Especially from Jauron.
