I wont be attending, that's for sure. Spot on and ditto for the last bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you assume that? I'd assume that for a non urgent procedure on an healed injury that's not causing difficulties that we know of, the surgeon's advice would be that we can remove the plate and screws when you're ready? Although reading the article it reads as if September surgery was planned in June or before so that doesn't suggest surgeons advice to that extent at all. Irrespective of all that, no surgery is fun, however minor, and it should be avoided at all costs, so hopefully it goes well and he's fit and raring to go in 2019, wherever that may be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No not if he had a Private Op - either paid for by your own Insurance Policy if you have one or if not yourself or in BWD’s case maybe one or more of his Clubs.

wealdstone Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 Presumably we are coming to the time of year where season ticket holders (not a very good deal anyway) will be expected to pay '. Albeit repetitive opposition and under strength line ups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply because there are time parameters sometimes involved in the removal of metalwork from the body. As someone who actually had a plate start to buckle in my leg, i am well aware of the permanent damage that can happen. Significant complications can occur following the removal of hardware, and some of these complications can be serious. His surgeon would be in control of this situation for sure... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New era Panthers Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 On 9/26/2018 at 5:57 PM, old bob at herne bay said: The "business end" of the season degenerating into pure farce. Two teams both operating the "rider Replacement" , (and Leaside's Zach W presumably still doubtful? ) Ulrich O still not fully fit , and Peterboro using a gust for Scotty Nicholls. Both sides heading into a "less than ideal"** double header racing the same side twice with 6 riders on parade. Seems almost acceptable that same side double headers take place. From the fans entertainment viewpoint a 7pm start is a poor decision - given Leaside's proven inability to run a meeting in under 2 hours - will be at least an 11pm finish after the delays with R/R and the selfish track curator who indulges in obsessive tractor grading. I thought my enthusiasm to watch the Hammers would be rekindled by the p. offs, just to make the trip to see a meeting at Hoddesdon - once again I am left disillusioned. ** quote from our illustrious promoter Jon Cook. Not sure how serious but Ben Barker fell and excluded in grand final silver helmet at Redcar tonight , I heard ambulance on track looks like arm injury.

Crump99 Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 20 minutes ago, Crumpet77 said: As a senior operating technician in the NHS of over twenty years, i can state that metalwork removal from the shoulder area is not considered 'minor surgery' by the surgeons. Nerve damage is a serious concern, and unlike metalwork in legs, surgeons are always keen to remove it from the upper body. He will be told that he should refrain from any contact sports for six weeks, and he will still be under the care and duty of his orthopaedic surgeon until the metalwork is removed and he is fully discharged. So you''re saying the press release isn't accurate: “After the operation we will re-assess Bradley next week to see whether it’s a season-ending injury, so we’ll give him a few days’ recovery time first, see how he feels and then go from there. “If he feels up for riding then he’ll continue, but we won’t know that until after the operation. “It’s not a major surgery and there should be no after-effects other than general soreness, so there is a slim possibility that he could carry on racing, and obviously he’s a vital part of the team."

scoobydoo Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 (edited) Think it can be said that Peterborough have now gone above Ipswich & Scunthorpe in the table of weve had more associated injuries than anyone now.
