A Rod surgery went well but.....

[rrzubnyy]

There were 3 major issues involving the surgery of Alex's hip....

The torn labrum and impingement were corrected but nothing was ever said about the cartilage damage that was deep in the hip......And this is permanent damage according to the article...

But the main thing is that there were no complications....

The Dr said it would be nice if he could be ready in 6 months or sooner but it could be longer as well.......

Sometime in June we will see how the rehab is and by then we will know if he is playing at full strength in 2013....

Personally, I'd rather him miss the season and get fully healed and ready for 2014.....

Hopefully they talk more about the cartilage damage......

Let him miss the entire season and start collecting insurance on his albatross of a contract.

There is no way he should see the field when this is the Yankees one chance to actually benefit from his bad contract

How about he fully recovers and gives the team a power source....I hope we see 30 homers again....

I thought he'd have to retire due to the injury in order to collect insurance.
Regardless, I agree that he should miss the season. This is a throwaway year for us IMO. Maybe Youk can give us more than A-rod will anyway.

How about a link?

As someone who is about to have the same surgery, I can honestly say that I believe he will be ready in the summer and will be much better than last year. Every Dr. I have spoken to has said to expect full range of motion and strength. Worst case is losing some small range of motion.
The pain will be gone for him. The best way I can describe it is, it's like someone hit you in the hip and arse with a club a few times. It's hard to walk, sit, turn and go up stairs. The hip locks when you stand up and rotate He will certainly have arthritis starting but that can be managed with other things.
He will never be the same player he was 3 years ago but I think he will be much better than last year.
I would sign up for 85% of what he was 3 years ago for the next few years.

He's done. Even players who are perfectly healthy don't maintain any semblance of their past prowess past a certain age.

We won't see even 10 HRs this year if he isn't back until July or August. His power is pretty much gone these days it seems

I read that he just had to miss the season in order for the Yankees to start collecting insurance. At least that's what I thought.

[Yankee Clipper]

He's probably done.

[TallicaFan87]

I don't see why anyone cares if the Yankees collect insurance for A-Rod. Doesn't affect the budget and therefore won't go back into the team.

Dat shitttz browke !!!

Dat shitttz browke !!!

I hope!!!!!

the thing about cartilage once its damaged or destroyed it doesn't grow back or fix. So if there's no real full recovery in this case.

also i'm doing my RN now and every professor i have had that had an MD said that arod's injuries are 100% due to his steroid usage. Theres no doubt about it.
