Tua Done For the Season

Dislocated hip, he's done for the season

 

[bookiereport]

Yup. Thanks. Bama done for year. No playoffs

Long way to go in the season besides Clemson being a lock but Tua is the most injury prone high profile player I've seen in a long time. It really does seem that every time he is tackled.....you have to hold your breath

What happens if Mac leads them to a big win at Auburn?

He might need to come back for his senior season to bulk up for the NFL.He will get killed in the NFL.

IMO that would be a more impressive win!!! Better
Chance to make the playoffs winning with someone other than Tua at the helm!

I agree, he will not last 3 games in the NFL...plus this posterior wall fracture he has is a potential career ending injury

Not at all.

Losing Tua downgrades the team. Alabama needs a LOT of help to get in now

 

[bookiereport]

They will not make it

 

[TimmyRules]

They need help to get there...if that help doesn’t happen then it won’t matter what they do to Auburn.

Wait until Myles Garrett gets a hold of him.

 

[MLB]

Tua is good? Never impressed with him and think Jones is a better thrower

 

[bookiereport]

Impossible for Bama to get in now. Someone give me a scenario where Bama gets in.

Here’s the deal with this injury. Any dislocation of the hip joint means that the ball (femoral head) came out of the acetabulum (socket). The hip is a very stable joint with significant bony and soft-tissue restraints, so any dislocation is the result of a tremendous amount of force/energy.
The concern when this occurs is whether or not the femoral head loses it's blood supply from the blood vessels tearing when the dislocation occurs. If this happens, the femoral head (ball of the hip) will 'die' and the bone becomes brittle. This eventually leads to collapse of the bone and resultant arthritis.

Now, combine this with a fracture of the back part of the acetabulum. This means that the socket broke/fractured with the dislocation. Higher energy injury. The cartilage of the hip joint is now invariably damaged to some degree. This leads to higher rates of arthritis.

Tua is at significant risk of this being career-ending. The next few months will tell the tale, if his femoral head survives and he does not develop severe post-traumatic arthritis.

You sound like a PT or ortho surgeon

The latter.

It was only a matter of time. Poor guy gets hurt every 7th offensive possession. That's a fact....done the research.

Like carrying groceries in a wet paper sack.

Question is how he doesn't alter his style of play to stay healthy. That buying time thing is cool as long as you do not hold it too long and let diving defenders get into the back of your knees.

 

[kesslerb22]

I’m in the medical field. LSUPete is 100% correct on everything he said.

Thoughts and prayers for Tua! Hate to see such a good athlete with so much potential get hurt like this.
