Devils731 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 This is what happens when you lose weight, you become too tight on your tendons...well ok, Marty still wasn't really ripped like the guys with 3% body fat that get in such good shape they hurt themselves because of it.

Pepperkorn Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 (edited) Rupture of the distal biceps tendon at the elbow joint is much less common and accounts for less than 5% of biceps tendon ruptures. This injury is also usually found in middle-aged patients, although not always. There is usually some degree of tendinosus, or degenerative changes within the tendon, that predisposes the patient to rupture of the tendon. The significance of a distal biceps tendon rupture is that without surgical repair, patients who experience complete rupture of the distal biceps tendon will notice loss of strength at the elbow. The strength will affect both the ability to bend the elbow against resistance, and the ability to turn the forearm to the palm-up position against resistance (for example, turning a doorknob or screwdriver). http://orthopedics.about.com/cs/shouldersu...psrupture_3.htm What are the symptoms of distal biceps tendon rupture? Distal biceps tendon rupture is characterized by sudden pain over the front of the elbow after a forceful effort against a flexed elbow. Usually the patient will hear a snap and have pain where the tendon rupture occurs. Swelling and bruising around the elbow are also common symptoms of distal biceps tendon rupture. What is the treatment of distal biceps tendon rupture? Most patients will experience benefit if the biceps tendon is repaired surgically. If the tear is incomplete, or if the patient is very low-demand (not active), then surgery may not be needed. However, most patients who want more normal use of their arm will benefit from surgery to repair the ruptured tendon to the bone. Oh this is great - this has pictures and the whole nine yards: http://www.eorthopod.com/public/patient_ed...ps_rupture.html Edited November 4, 2008 by Pepperkorn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Random Poster Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I knew it, i fvcking called this all the way. God damn it! After 25 years of following this team, i know better then to trust anything that comes out of that team's mouth, especially LL about injuries. You just know Martin's "Upper body" is something more. "Bruised elbow" LOL As i said, the Devils calling that a bruised elbow was an insult to fans intelligence and anyone who believed it should have learned a lesson not to believe anyhting you hear but what you see. There were signs of it being worse if you understand the Devils way. The big clue was not hearing from Brodeur. So SueNJ, i guess i shouldn't have been so scared after all about that MRI after all, huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevestevens Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 AH this is horrible, hopefully scrap out a 6-8th spot and Brodeur is charged for the playoffs. Only hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MantaRay Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Here is where Weekes earns his money. I don't see this as a grave situation as Weekes is a very good goalie. If we don't score it doesn't really matter anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
britoon Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Why did this sh!t have to happen on the season that Marty is trying to break most of the significant records in hockey? LOSE THE NEW MASK! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil Fan Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Horrible and I will be glad if the team plays .500 hockey without Marty until early February. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njdevil26 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Do you think we stick with Weekes? Or maybe go trade for a goalie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When has no news regarding injuries with this team EVER been good news? I guess we'll now also get a taste of what attendance is going to be like in the post-Brodeur era. I'm sure some fans have already given up on the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devils731 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Do you think we stick with Weekes? Or maybe go trade for a goalie? Probably stick with Weekes and see how it goes in a few weeks when the skaters come back. The Devils, as a very depleted team, played 2 really good periods last night so I don't think the team will be in a rush to get a goalie because it'd be hard to be sure you were significantly upgrading over Weekes anyway.

If you remember what Weekes said that other day who had a similar injury last year his was originally diagnosed as a brused elbow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themiddle91489 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 This sucks, and seriously puts a damper on our division crown chances. Jesus. Brodeur out for four months, Greene out for a month, and Rolston and Holik both out a couple more weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepperkorn Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 four to six months. Just to keep it real - I think we should all expect 6 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devilsrule33 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Get ready for a very unhealthy dosage of Madden, Pandolfo and Langenbrunner each night. This team has had the luxury of having Brodeur behind them making 4 or 5 amazing saves each night. I have no idea they adapt to play a different game.

welcometotherock Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I thought this was a joke at first, I feel sick to my stomach. Hopefully he can come back by February the 3rd- Devils have 12 games in a 25 day stretch before the all-star break. If he can come back by then I think they can still have a decent chance at a 6/7 spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even bigger this team won't have the luxury of having what amounts to a third defensemen back there to help start the breakout. That means gettng bottled up in the zone like last night a lot.

That means gettng bottled up in the zone like last night a lot. I think that was the biggest problem in the first period, the team adjusting to the lower puck handling ability combined with a heavy forecheck. The Devils got better at it as they adjusted.

Jdub Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Well the devils are just going to get a hell of alot more defensive... Weekes held his own last nite, So Im not too worried. Devils cant allow more than 20 shots a game if they want to be successful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
