At least it's just the tibia. That's something.

Thought both were broken looking at pic.

Still needs an op though. Think he might be ahead of schedule and come back to help with the last push

 

[CopenhagenBlade]

Does this have any affect on his old injury?

 

[Houso]

To tell the truth, I think we should forget Coutts for the season and not put any pressure his return. It'll help us plan and help him in that any chance of playing time before next season is a massive bonus.

Everything crossed it has no bearing on his career in general.

Edit: just to say, best case (I think) is 12-16 weeks in cast. 6-8 weeks rehab so he might see the end the season, but it's incredibly unlikely.

I don’t think so, I thought that was his knee he dislocated? I could be wrong and usually am.

That would be a difficult question for anyone on here to answer.

Don’t be fucking stupid, I’ve just answered it.

I thought the place was packed with surgeons

Whats the difference between a fracture and a break? I mean looking at that pic looked a clean break of tib and fib all day long.

Recover well Couttsy and hope this means that it's not a career wrecking incident for you.

It was ACL wasn't it? So no its unlikely

 

[yorkshirecoast]

A Google search suggests 4-6 months generally for this type of injury. Need to go with what we have but strengthen at the very beginning of the transfer window - not mess around trying to get players for rock bottom prices and end up missing out.

Coutts has been quality and will be a big miss but we have several quality players at the moment so hopefully we can maintain our form.

How the fuck did you know that?

 

[CharnockBlade]

As a self appointed yet totally unqualified expert in knee injuries I would hazard a guess at no, atleast in the physical state due to the location of the break which was not immediately next to the knee, mentality wise potentially, I’m not sure if it’s the same leg as the one he did his kneecap on either of anyone could enlighten me on that.

I only say this as I did something relatively similar and my knee was absolutely fine, my leg however not so.

Dislocated knee I think. Still very unlikely.

They're the same thing. I was surprised to learn I had a fracture when my arm was flapping about, but it's just the clinical term for a break.

 

[west_yorks_blade]

I hope this news doesn't unleash another round of posters slagging each other off like the main Coutts thread last night.
Adversity should bring us together.

Thought fracture was a crack in the bone....like stress fractures are just little cracks

Thought a break was a clean....break.

 

[BladeInIreland]

No room for sentiment sadly. I think this could spell the end for him with us if his previous recovery is anything to go by. We have to be looking for a better, probably younger replacement in January. Easier said then done but that's football.

Me too. But a crack is a hairline fracture, a break is a compound fracture iirc.

A fracture is a medical term for a broken bone. No difference in meaning.

Correct. And just to confirm Wiz my like on your post was for this bit and not where you say you're usually wrong

Yeah, yeah!

Sorry, spelling fuck-up.....

 

[ShefRedandWhite]

Best we can hope for is that he's 100% going into next pre-season.

He's admitted himself missing pre-seasons was what made him struggle most with getting back to speed from his last injury.

My goodness, that's harsh. Poor lad, just broke his leg and if he or his fellow team mates look at this you've just made him feel a hell of a lot better......not.

That’s the spirit

UTB

He will be back. His previous recovery time was for a knee dislocation that fucks up ligaments and tissues. Paul has a fracture that is completely different and suggests a more rapid recovery than his previous injury.

Hardly think anything I could say would affect his life any which way tbh
