Andrew Bynum's injuries:

*Jan 13, 2008- Dislocated left kneecap/bone bruise -- arthroscopic surgery on May 21st 2008 -- missed playoffs -- returned for start of 2008-09 season on October 28th 2008
*Nov 3, 2008 -- Strained rotator cuff right shoulder -- didn't miss any games
*Nov 25, 2008 -- Bone spur right foot -- didn't miss any games
*Jan 31, 2009- Torn MCL right knee -- no surgery -- out until April 9th 2009
*Nov 4, 2009 -- Elbow strain -- missed 2 games
*Mar 19, 2010 - Strained achilles -- out until April 18th 2010
*May 1, 2010 - Torn meniscus right knee -- played through playoffs -- arthroscopic surgery on July 29th 2010 -- out until December 14th 2010
*Jan 30, 2011 -- Bone bruise left knee -- missed one game


What was it about his last surgery where they repaired his meniscus instead of taking it out or something?

Also, what kind of injuries has Greg Oden suffered as a pro?

I am debating with a friend of a friend about why I think we should keep Bynum and not trade him for Carmelo. I cited the importance of big men in the NBA, etc, etc, and then he asked me if I would trade Oden for Carmelo. I said yes, because his injuries were more serious and he has never really shown that he could be more than a serviceable defensive big. Of course nobody is going to trade for Oden, b/c he is out for the season and will be a free agent, but it was just hypothetical.

EDIT:

Greg Oden's injuries:

*Sep 13, 2007 -- micro-fracture surgery on right knee -- missed rookie season
*Oct 28, 2008 -- sprained foot -- returned November 12th 2008
*Feb 12, 2009 -- bone chip in knee -- returned March 18th 2009
*Dec 5, 2009 -- fractured left knee cap -- surgery -- missed remainder of season
*Nov 17, 2010 -- torn ligament left knee -- micro-fracture surgery -- will miss entire 2010-2011 season

(from what I can remember)

The dislocated knee cap wasn't so bad, it was the fact that there was a bone bruise because it dislocated so badly. And that bruise was in an area that has low blood flow, which really slowed down the recovery time.

Thanks.

If I remember correctly:

*Jan 31, 2009- Torn MCL -- surgery -- out until April 9th 2009

You're missing some of the smaller tweaks/etc.

Click on the links in my sig, but if you need the whole history, it may not exist online except through research.

From what I recall:

Loose knee ligaments caused a floating kneecap in 2005 - he sat for a few games

Bone spurs in November 2008, missed a handful of games

Ankle sprain Nov. 09, was day-to-day

He had a rotator cuff injury that caused him to miss part of training camp one year

Plus he missed a season in HS due to injury.

Also I'm sure someone will come in here and say he had sugary on his knee in high school but he didn't. He missed 10 games due to sprained knee his Jr I think, which was his first year to play basketball ever.

Yeah, but it was the doctor's fault, just like it was Kobe's fault, Odom's fault, Gasol's fault, the ball boy's fault, my fault, etc.

He had knee surgery at 12

Quote:
He's scheduled to receive a third opinion on his left knee Wednesday from the specialist that operated on the knee when he was 12 years old, and it's possible he could undergo another surgery. From the Los Angeles Times:


He also missed 25 games in two HS seasons.

Injuries are the great unknown. His history says he's brittle. Bynum is pure potential. He has never been a 35+ minute guy, primary option over anything close to a full season. He's never been asked to be that guy here.

His best stretches of play for me were the following:

2007-2008: Great stretch of games, but it wasn't a very long stretch before the dislocated patella. Of course, there was no Gasol at that point and the Lakers were kind of a sleeper team. Athletically, he's never regained that explosion.

2008-2009: Had a nice 5-8 game stretch before hurting his MCL. Was never the same when he came back.

2009-2010: Was a solid 19-10 guy when Gasol was out in the beginning of the year. Was more a secondary guy when Gasol came back, but the mysterious Achilles injury and torn meniscus derailed his productivity. He was healthy for the first 65 games.

No, cartilage debris etched a knick under the patella. The surgery cleaned out the debris and smoothed out the spot under the patella. He missed a lot of time because they assumed it was a bone bruise. They didn't operate until summer. Had they operate right away he would've been back in time or the playoffs.

dynasty, the second knee surgery was to the meniscus. When he initially sprained the MCL he was diagnosed with a micro tear to the lateral meniscus. That continued to grow because it needed to be stitched. After that injury he was getting treatments and lots of ice during the season on it. The OKC series is where it tore open and caused the massive swelling. Again, had they fixed the micro tear he wouldn't have had the problem against OKC.

All the research I've done on this alleged surgery at 12 points to that surgery was only considered but not done because it wasn't necessary. The Article above is not proof that he had surgery, it is sloppy journalism as there are no confirming reports from Bynum's Dr. or anybody else.

If it truly happened, then better evidence is required.
