'15 IL DT Micah Dew-Treadway (Notre Dame Early Enrollee)

[Big23Head]

Broken foot according to the Scout guys

 

[ND Fan Vancouver]

This is crappy news. Sounds like he was going to get some playing time this year and DT's get worn down and banged up through the season so depth is important. Let's hope he recovers well and gets after it again next year.

Could he be back by mid season?

Could he be back by mid season?

Depends on which bone(s) was/were broken and how severely (was it displaced, and if surgery is needed for screws and plates). If it is a simple fracture/break than he could easily be back by mid-season (I think 4-6 weeks is the normal healing time with a few weeks needed for conditioning so 6-8 weeks?). A displaced fracture that requires surgery could be significantly longer. Also what bone(s) that was/were broken matters because areas of the foot such as the arch seem to take longer to heal and/or are more likely to break again.


ETA: one of the physical therapists or doctors on here could probably give more specifics.

Heard it was stress fracture and he sent a snapchat that he was out 8-12 weeks.

If this is true, that isn't too bad

Not a huge loss. Two deep seemed all but set with Taylor, Cage, Tillery, Jones. Need Tiassum or Mokwuah to be serviceable at least and we will be fine

Yep. I REALLY hope we don't lose any starters to injuries during fall camp. FINGERS CROSSED

Along with Jay Hayes and Rochell sliding inside on passing downs, this shouldn't be a crippling blow to the interior d-line depth.

Actually, with the progress MDT was making in other areas, this isn't all bad, necessarily. He could apply for a medical redshirt, no?

No. He'd have to lose another year and apply for a sixth since he's coming off a RS year.. If MDT gets a sixth, ND:s in trouble. That would mean a catastrophic collapse in the DL group in the future.

Apparently he has a Jones fracture, not sure what that is. Had surgery yesterday and is out eight weeks. ISD

It's a fracture to the 5th metatarsal. Around the outside of the foot near midfoot

Horrible news is what it is.

Intramedullary screw fixation of Jones fractures. Analysis of failure.
Larson CM, Almekinders LC, Taft TN, Garrett WE.


Abstract
Treatment failures after screw fixation of Jones fractures are reported to be infrequent. Between 1993 and 1999, 15 patients (mean age, 21.7 years) underwent cannulated screw fixation of a Jones fracture at our institution. There were six treatment failures: four refractures and two symptomatic nonunions. The mean time to full activity was 6.8 weeks for the patients with failure compared with 9 weeks for patients who did not have complications. Although all patients were asymptomatic and radiographically progressing to union before return to full activity, only one of six patients with failures had complete radiographic union, compared with six of seven patients with no complications. There was a higher proportion of elite athletes (division I or professional level) among the failure group (83%) compared with those without complications (11%). There were no significant differences in age, sex, screw diameter, use of bone graft, or age of fracture between patients with failures and those without complications. Return to full activity, especially among elite athletes, before complete radiographic union was predictive of failure. Even though intramedullary screw fixation offers advantages over nonoperative treatment, a significant risk of postoperative complications exists.

I know, I know, sample size/underpowered/one institution/better techniques with subsequent cumulative knowledge (including using larger screws: link). But nonetheless...

The article is also a little old. I believe Jones fractures success rates have improved quite a bit. Luckily it is a common fracture and the procedure for repair is known.

MDT is out of his cast, per ISD. Sounds like he won't be able to practice for a while though. I know that the D line is finally using a rotation, but say it takes him a month to get back up to speed, can this year be a medical redshirt year? Or do the staff just play him anyways?

Play him if he can ear the snaps. He already redshirted and would have to miss another season to injury to apply for the 6th year.

I had that type of fracture a few years back sucked ass for recovery time. Had a fridge fall over onto my foot and cause it. Would definitely be an injury that you wouldn't want to play on

That's what you get for chasing stormtrooper chick tail....

Life's rough brother.

 

[brick4956]

thats what happens when an ex-coworker of mine has anger management attacks a fridge that then proceeds to fall over onto my foot. Was in the wrong place at the wrong time. He got instantly fired

PIIHB?

Very good for this guy. Kinda hope he stays though, especially if he drops the last couple pounds the staff apparently wants him to lose. D line depth is never bad.

 

[Sherm Sticky]

With MTA out MDT has been receiving a decent number of snaps a game. Wonder if he will stay for his 5th year...

 

[IrishLion]

I noticed on a few snaps that he was doing a really good job at taking on Stanford’s double team blocks and causing traffic at the LOS.

Agree. Saw the same thing, he was occupying two Stanford linemen to free others up.
