McNeil5-1 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Big blow if he's out for any serious length of time, he's a top prospect. Gives young Liam Smith a chance to show what he can do though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambof3tornado Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I wont be overly surprised if the next we hear about it he's been and had an op and is recovering well. That said I'd be equally unsurprised to see him line up at perth on sunday!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deejtee Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Wondering that myself. Doctors probably having a lengthy look and discussion to see what the problem is. Correct. Assuming this is an MR scan it takes longer to report than to acquire and depends who is reporting it on how busy they are. Better with the right answer after a careful look though.

Jimmy McNulty Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 When I blew my knee out they had to wait for swelling to go down before any x-rays, etc, were done. So a wait like this would be consistent with damage. We will have to wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sincerely hope not as the scan requires specialist muskuloskeletal imaging opinion accepting that if the club has a highly skilled knee surgeon that person would make a decent stab at interpretation.

Nelly Terraces Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 CP being out for any length of time is a blow for us, think he's have been handy to have had in the 1st 2 games which will be pretty physical, and his goal threat in the air is a good weapon in our armoury.

deejtee Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 The club wont have a salaried specialist but will have one that they use. And hopefully the best local opinions both radiologically and surgically with options for opinions elsewhere. As you say no-one will be salaried, hopefully not on holiday or busy. Seem to remember a previous player being sent to Birmingham for surgery that was not actually required.Sometimes scans are equivocal, sometimes barn door!

Agreed. Showed in the last derby how important he is at set pieces. Hopefully his injury isn't as bad as first thought and that we get in sufficient cover and don't rush him back.

7628mm Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 if this article is accurate then it's looking not to bad. If it's 6-8 weeks he won't miss that many games. My understanding of the Evening Hibby is that it says nothing and is mere speculation on their part. How can an original prognosis be 6-8 weeks when the scan was inconclusive? Complete Lilian Gish IMHO we need to wait and see what the next specialist says Quote from them. Results from a scan earlier this week proved inconclusive, so the player and his club will be hoping the specialist can provide a better idea of how long he is set to be sidelined for, with the initial prognosis around six to eight weeks.

Rudiboy Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I am hoping after reading that article it isn't as bad as we all feared. I would take 6-8 weeks to be honest after having fears of 9 months. Fingers crossed it isn't too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantjambo Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Given how more serious it could be I would be very happy if he's only out for 6-8 weeks. He would probably only miss the first half dozen or so league games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveNgoo Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 He was at Jordan MacKay's funeral. I spoke to Callum and he is still in a lot of pain. He said the scan wasn't as conclusive as they had hoped and he has to see a specialist to determine whether or not an op is required. He is absolutely gutted about it but he's a strong lad and I've no doubt he will let it affect him long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cairneyhill Jambo Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Why is he a knob? Not that it matters, if he is good at his job. He treats his staff and patients like crap. The nurses on the ward couldn't stand him because of his arrogant attitude. In a job like his, I would say customer service matters, no matter how good you are at your job. Apologies, epic fail. Just remembered it wasn't Brenkel that was the knob, it was the other Doc that carried out the op. Brenkel was the consultant i saw at first.

Boof Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 From http://www.heartsfc.co.uk/articles/20140731/surgery-success-for-callum_2241384_4044941 Surgery success for Callum 31.07.2014 Robbie Neilson has received a huge boost with the news that Callum Paterson's layoff from injury won't be as long as first feared. Callum was stretchered off at half-time in the Jambos' 3-1 win over Annan Athletic last Saturday, with initial fears that the right-back had sustained a substantial injury. But following specialist advice, the Scotland U21 cap underwent surgery this morning to tidy up the damaged area around his knee, with a return to training likely to take place in a couple of months. Speaking exclusively to Hearts News, head coach Robbie said: "We had Callum looked at and, once it was realised that the injury wasn't as bad as we first thought, went ahead with surgery. "The operation - a medial menisectomy - was a tidy-up job which went absolutely fine. Because of the nature of the injury, we believe Callum will return to the training field in around a couple of months. "It's still an injury that will keep him on the sideline for the foreseeable, but because we could've been looking at six months out or longer, it's a huge relief that it isn't as bad as that. "Callum will start his rehabilitation straight away and I'm sure he will come back stronger and better than ever." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
