coolskin Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 It sounds like Ramsey has a fracture of the fifth metatarsal. Look up "Jones Fracture' on the net to learn more. This is the same thing that Javon Kearse and Matt Bowen had. Both play now with no ill affects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skins26 Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Kearse had it, maybe Kearse could come play for us next year and help Ramsey through it!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Either way, its wise to get it done this week, have him on the sidelines watching the games and learning. Then go into the offseason where you know he'll rehab like a mofo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevieInferior Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Wow Ramsey must be going through some sh!t. After searching for Jones fracture on Webmd, I got two results titled: For Hormone Replacement Therapy, Less Is More 100% (WebMD Medical News Archive) Lower Dose Pills Relieve Menopause Symptoms With Fewer Side Effects Breast cancer: Prevention - Health Professional Information [Cancer.gov] -- Evidence of Benefit 17% (WebMD Public Information from the National Cancer Institute) Ramsey has some issues he and his wife need to discuss. http://my.webmd.com/search/search_results?query=Jones+Fracture&filter=mywebmd_all_filter&go.x=4&go.y=14 Breast cancer: Prevention - Health Professional Information [Cancer.gov] -- Evidence of Benefit 17% (WebMD Public Information from the National Cancer Institute) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamebreaker Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 This is for the best. He can take the surgery now, rehab, and then look at film and study what he needs to improve in his game while his body heals up from the beating he took. With his work ethic, I could really see him doing all of that and coming back even better than he was this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevieInferior Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Fractures of the fifth metatarsal of the foot are surprisingly controversial among radiologists, particularly concerning proximal metatarsal fractures. Some term these fractures Jones fractures, others dancers fractures, while others simply term them proximal metatarsal fractures. According to Orthopedic Radiology (Adam Greenspan, 3rd edition), a "true Jones" fracture occurs one inch distal to the base of the fifth metatarsal. It is not due to peroneus brevis tendon avulsion but rather a twisting inversion injury to the foot. Greenspan states that more proximal injuries are frequently misinterpreted as Jones fractures but really are avulsion fractures by the peroneus brevis tendon. These latter fractures heal quickly, while more distal fractures may undergo fibrous union only. http://www.gentili.net/fracture1.asp?ID=65 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
