bpexile Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 He's tough, he'll be back. A similar injury happened to Rory Sloane who is one of our AFL players in Oz, he has had a fractured jaw, depressed cheek bone in the past & it's taken him approx 8 weeks to get back. Here's a clip to show the type of player he is, we need more of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted September 25, 2018 Report Share Posted September 25, 2018 Ouch. I guess it’s just another battle scar for a defender though. Surprised Watkins came away injury free, it must have hurt them both. Its pretty amazing what surgeons can do isn’t it, and X-rays have certainly improved.

I am most certainly no doctor, either, but can someone perhaps explain how it is possible to insert screws without cuts? @Dr Balls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder whether they may have done it from inside (The mouth) but looking at the x rays that can’t be so My bet is a incision just under the jawline and out of sight but then I would have expected for them to have shaved his beard I bet Tomas’s jaw has more screws in it, and is more stable than the Sags gymkana stand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugging me Phil so looked it up topWhat does the operation involve? Once you are asleep the fracture sites will be opened up. This involves making a cut on the inside of your mouth through the gum. The broken bones are then put back together and held in place with small metal plates and screws. The gum is stitched back into place with dissolvable stitches that can take a fortnight or even longer to fall out. During the same operation it is often necessary to place wires or metal braces around your teeth so that elastic bands can be attached to them and guide your bite into the correct position after surgery. Screws inserted into the jawbone above the teeth are occasionally used instead of these wires or metal braces. Any elastic bands are not usually attached until the day after your operation, ie: your jaws will be able to move freely when you wake up from surgery.

Was it bottom wisdoms? They're a nightmare apparently. I had my one of my top wisdoms taken out about 2 months ago. Dentist overdid the lidocaine and I basically slept for 24 hours! Lived on yogurt and ibuprofen for a few days but healed beautifully. Fully expected a dry socket as I do smoke (tut tut I know) but escaped it thankfully!

RumRed Posted September 25, 2018 Report Share Posted September 25, 2018 Ouch. I had four wisdom teeth out at once which included the bottom two having to have a section of jaw removed. Wasn’t too bad until the degradable stitches started to slip. Only time I’ve ever passed out due to pain* Hope they’ve improved since then, because that injury looks really painful.

Bit like the horror ‘tales’ of the BCG jab (You May be too young to have encountered them !) The BCG jab. Stopped being given in Bristol just before I was born (mid 80s) but apparently still given to kids across the country? My hubby used to be a cowman (no Wurzels jokes required lolz) for his grandad (not named Bill either lolz) and he never had the BCG even though he was around the stock from day dot. Thankfully, they never had TB but he would have been screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had this operation and rather than cut my "pretty" face the surgeon said he would try first to cut behind my ear and out of sight. He would then hook everything into place and wire it all up. When i came round from the op i had felt tip lines all over my face so as to line both cheeks up nice and level. I thought these lines were scars for a few minutes and was a little bit worried about my looks..:laugh: The metal (silver i think) is still inside. Mine was not only broken but badly depressed. I had one cut behind the ear and one just above the eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
