Scaphoid or distal radius fracture are at the top of the differential for a "wrist fracture near the thumb" (and where LaMelo was pointing), but it's certainly possible that it's one of the other wrist bones and/or theres associated ligament injury that has made this more severe.
Thanks doc, we love and appreciate your effort and speed on every vid 🙌
Brian the nba is making it a bigger deal that it is. He took a safer fall than i did when i when i got a wrist injury. i feel straight down on my wrist and i had a torn ligament. i was only off the court for a week.
Love the vids
Get the nuggets earned Jersey on the skeleton plz
Hey doc, thanks for uploading so fast, you might've missed an edit in the video at 4:03 , not sure if you can fix it, just thought i'd point it out. As always love the content!
Saw this news and knew exactly where to come for in depth injury analysis
YOO TOO
Where?
I broke my wrist too
@Lincoln Nazarchuk I broke it by rolling down a hill
Sad to see everyone in sports getting injured, but at least Brian Sutterer's got a lot of vids to make.
That’s why they get paid millions because of the fans they bring in and the high risk they take
Thats DOCTOR BRIAN SUTTERER FOR YOU KIND SIR!
D P. Your a disgusting human being to want even more people to be injured
@@AloisHitler-bl2fw I mean they get paid mostly because of the fans and entertainment business. Plenty of jobs are more dangerous and they don’t get paid millions...
@@GardenGuy1943 LMFAO
Melo was still laying on the floor when Doc was finishing the edits for this video! 👀🤣👍
it's been a day...
Hahahahah😐
Poor Lamelo, he is rookie of the year in my book😢
He's Snookie of the year in my book.
This guy must be a big fan with that Pic.
Don't forget, Lamelo came back in the game and was scoring with a broken wrist. Mad respect for Melo
This might end up being a blessing. He helped his team get a good playoff position, got plenty of reps against top NBA players. A few months from now he will come back stronger and ready for that All-Star year
@@I.am_Groot Charlotte is 8th right now....the worst possible playoff spot.
@@rgh5069 Nobody wants that sweep the Nets have waiting in the 1st round. Only a game or so out of 4/5 not the end of the world.
@@rgh5069 They still have a good chance of making it, the race is real tight. Hornets are only 1.5 games from the number 4th spot. However, it's going to be very hard without Melo playing now.
The problem with Scaphoids is that it doesn’t feel like you broke your wrist but rather that it is just sprained. He def felt like he could play through it and that he could still dribble and shoot alright with it. The pain comes when you put pressure on it by something like a push up
These videos should be used as case studies to make anatomy or sports science classes more interesting and applicable.
Hell yeah
I agree totally!! I’m a nursing major and these help so much and I actually retain the knowledge! Amazing content and thanks for these videos they are amazing!
Not only am I impressed with your content, videos, technology setup...as a Family Med/Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine resident, I’m even more impressed that you post this quickly as a PM&R resident-majority of people here have no idea how busy residency is (watching medical shows doesn’t count)-so I tip my hat to you boss, your time management skills inspire me
Being a Charlotte fan just means being in constant pain im basically numb to it now
Hawks fan who agrees. SMH 😫
He will come back. We will suffer a bit but we'll make it past! Stay strong brother!
He will be fine it won’t change his game permanently you got a future MVP there
Enjoy
Knicks fan here until recently I lived in Spain and the S was silent
Sheesh your quick with the vids
I think he just records himself watching sports and as soon as he sees someone gets injured he just starts talking lol.
Dr. Sutterer getting to da breesh 😈😈
Well I mean he doesn’t really edit the video
Would you be able to do historical injuries from the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s?
he covered the infamous rudy tomjanovich injury from the 80's in a recent video
Yeah I know he's done Brandon Roy from the 2000s. Would be nice to see Penny Hardaway, Grant Hill, Tracy McGrady,C Webb and guys who had their careers cut short by injury
@@AbdulRashidYakubu Yao and Greg Oden too 👍
@@jeccdog7584 True. We gotta hope doc sees this
been watching you for awhile now & im STILL amazed at your quickness
Never heard of this doctor till now while searching for Lamelo injury. You sir have a new subscriber. Keep it up. Very enlightening
The consistency and speed of your videos are quite remarkable
Such great videos, absolutely love the medical analysis
Great video thanks DR
I just would like to say, that after you came to RUclips.. there has been other doctors trying to do what you do. But ur the best !!!
I did that in gym class once. I wince at that clip because i know. Probably had a difference in severity, but i wasn't back to normal for about 4 months. Couldn't imagine having to play professional basketball. Hope he can get some stem cells shot in there to heal faster.... in all seriousness wishing the best. Bright future ahead
Damn bruh uploading everyday, everybody getting injured
man has had a busy day with all these videos keep up the good work
Thank you for the information, always!
Brian you are the best, I truly enjoy your analysis, very informative.👍🏼
Amen I am Always glad to hear Dr.s as him
Thanks for the quick response Doc!!
Glad to see you back in the office, Doc!
Excellent episode.
Another great explanation doctor, thanks again 👍👏
Awesome vid, Doc.
Thanks Doctor Brian.
Only coming here to get info on sports injuries -
Thanks Doc-
Doc, your background is dope can’t lie
There goes down Charlotte's playoff chances. Take your time to recover melo
Terry is really good
Honestly i think he will be back. Not for a kinute but i think he will be back this season
@@dancer1 He injured his hip too
@@dancer1 Terry was on the team last year too, how good were they?
@@robbyrob9903 one game out of making the bubble
Great content
I had this same injury years ago. It took me 6 months to heal, hopes he has a speedy recovery man.
@RyzenKurt Ritchie ik man....im so frustrated hearing this injury. I've never followed someone like this in the nba since carmelo.
I came for support bruh my wrist hurts😂
As a student in Physical Therapy Dr. Brian's help me to understand all kinds of injuries in a simplify and understable way. Thanks Doc
You're really good at making any injury on any sport interesting, even if you don't watch or don't know about injuries :)
Nice jersey you have there, in the background. 👍🏽🔥
Doc I like that your a big sport fan at heart!
I broke my scaphoid in 8th grade from a FOOSH exactly like this one (falling backwards). Didn’t get it x-ray’d for 7-8 weeks and needed a bone graft to repair the decay that occurred along the fracture. This is one of the first vids where I knew about just about everything you were talking about bc of this experience.
Nice video, even better Book jersey on Mr. Bones
you are amazin doc, so fast
Missed watching these videos hopefully someday I can study sports medicine
as per, amazing content 👏
I had the same injury when I was in the Army in 1997 and was in Germany. Went a day with it broken before I went to sick call, then had a neon green cast from armpit to fingertips for months. Ahhhhh, the memories.
Same here. I remember the cast was on for at least 6 months
Did y’all just bond over war ???😂💀
@@sergc76 i mean if thats the only memories u got. U do u.
@@sergc76 Was there war in Germany in 1997? Some people might have spilled their beer but that is not usually called war, more like a 'police action.'
Great jersey in the background!!
Hey Doc you have inspired me to start my own RUclips channel as far as sports and Medicine are concerned. Greetings all the way from Somalia .Thank you
As an engineer! These presentations you present are so awesome. And I hope I can be a presenter just like you
Thanks doc
Mans is committed to RUclips
Great analysis doctor. I experience a fractured scaphoid and it's something you need to take care because it takes long time to heal.
That dbook jersey in the background is 🔥🔥
Most underrated RUclipsr.
We all need to do our part and share his page to get him to a mil plus subs
Was gonna subscribe but I already am you tube sucks at making my feed what I want to see I have learned a lot on how to avoid injury I train eccentric often now and my shoulders thank you
This guy deserves 1mill subs
What i always wanna know the most is how long the injury will take to recover so it’d be nice if you could give some insight on that early in your vids. Otherwise amazing content
If it happened earlier in the season, he could have come back. But because there's only 1.5 months left in the season, there's no real reason why to rush back LaMello back on a team that's a fringe playoff contender.
I just had this injury. It’s been 12 weeks and it’s about 90%. Terrible blood supply to this area. It would be better if it was his left wrist so he could still practice shooting.
Yo Brian! So I am a big wrestling fan and the NCAA wrestling national tournament just passed this weekend, and a wrestler named Spencer Lee came out and told the public that he was wrestling the whole tournament with both ACL'S torn in his knees. I know that pain and swelling will reduce after some time and you can still walk or run with a torn ACL. I just thought it would be cool if you checked out the interview and broke it all down! Preciate you and what you do! ✊🏾
You deserve more than 407k subs🙄
Dude just hit a deep three,an and-1 and getting Freethrows even his wrist is fractured .Respect🥶
I’m sad for melo shit stupid he was going hard he’s still my rookie of the year 🙏🏾💪🏾
He played enough to be ROTY
Ben Simmons is 2021 roty
@@adriancarlosbonito4932 nah it's Lebron
This man just came to the league🙄
Lmao well shit happens
@@emanueloropeza3760 you weird lmao. Hate that hard on lavar. And Lamelo still deserves ROTY tbh literally leads in every major statistical category and has a better record than Edwards
@@emanueloropeza3760 I’m weird but you hate on a 19 year old who is more successful already than you’ll ever be. Also bruh your name is Emanuel bruh wtf callin me weird
@@emanueloropeza3760 you spam hahah way to much. Like nothing is funny you are actually psychotic. Also I promise even injured he is more successful than you lmao. You are weird asf. Anyway enjoy being psycho I’m not wasting my time replying anymore
That was an awkward fall. All he had to do was bend his knees and let his butt take most of the impact. I hope Melo comes back stronger than ever!
Yup that's the essence of Aikido backwards rolling. It starts by sitting on your heal, like you say bending the legs...
Yeah, i think that might have helped reduce the risk a bit more.
One of the bright spots of this season was watching Lamelo come into his own! Devonte Graham is low-key smiling though, no matter how twisted that sounds. He lost his starting job and a lot of minutes to the young buck. I really hope he mends well and comes back as good as he left. I've had that exact same break myself and it took 2 surgeries to get it right with 9 months being in a cast. The scaphoid was my worst wrist injury because it was the bottom half of the scaphoid that didn't heal and it never got the proper amount of blood flow. Hence the long healing process. Hopefully the 2nd opinion Lamelo is getting is better than the first. You better believe that this is Lavar pushing for that! Great video Doc!
My coach coached us to not put our hands down like Lamelo did here when falling back. Do you agree Brian?
Great coach you had. Go ahead and smack your head on the ground bcuz you can play with a concussion but not a hurt wrist right? Smh idiot
@@justineandreiasis2210 god does everything for a reason
My coach coached to never fall and if we did fall to go back in time not fall.
we had charge practices in basketball to practice taking charges so we prevent things like that. lamelo was going up for a layup so he was distracted and wasn’t focused on his landing.
@@maybejourdan1766 I wish god designed us😔
Broke the styloid process of my radius snowboarding on Christmas. It’s been nearly 3 months and I’am about 85%. Wrist extension is giving me the most trouble which is probably the most important part of shooting. Wishing a speedy recovery to Lamelo
how’s it now? u good?
PLEASE make video on SPENCER LEE. Iowa wrestler that just won his 3rd National Championship and tore is ACL 8 days prior. And he actually doesn’t have one on the other side either. He’s an athletic spectacle and wants to make this years Olympic team in two weeks! Thanks! Love your content!
Crazy how I know what he talking about guess human anatomy wasn’t a waste of time 💀
Why would you know about the names of veins when you’re gonna be a programmer or something like that? Human anatomy is overall useless for most people
@@2kmichaeljordan438 bro what are you talking about, Im literally doing a job in my field
@@2kmichaeljordan438 it’s good to have somewhat of a broad knowledge. But not too much then it would be wasted. Like know the name of vessels. Since you don’t make money in knowing about 1000 different things. It’s better to have knowledge that specific.
right lol, im in highschool rn 3rd year med
very good
Love that jersey man 👍
A few years ago I had a very similar fall and broke my distal radius and it required surgery. Very tough injury but my wrist is very close to normal now as far as range of motion after rehab. Hope for a speedy recovery for Melo
Loving the Suns Jersey in the background
I had this but from skateboarding. I heelflipped a gap going as fast as i could. I broke my ulna, and dislocated my hand and compressed my wrist bones up into my hand so it was like a smooshed Z. I had to get my wrist stretched back out to reset my wrist, they decided to not do surgery that first healing process, then after the healing, they discovered bad damage to my ligaments or tendons in my wrist so my wrist bones started spreading apart, and i had excess bone growth scarring on my ulna causing pinching in my nerves and veins in my wrist. So i just underwent my second procedure where they cut and carved excess bone in my ulna, cutting a triangle out then putting in a screw to compress the bone, then they cut one of my 2 arm tendons that i guess i had where some people only have one going down there arm, i had 2, they told me they could use one of the 2 because its like a left over tendon or something idk. So they cut it, then drilled a hole through both wrist bones to then tie a knot loop through my 2 bones and pulled them together. So the shitty thing is.... now my wrist is WAY too tight.... so i get bad pain and discomfort every time im twist or bend my hand or wrist or do any sorta action with my hand. I went from being able to do push ups, throwing baseballs, playing basketball, digging with shovels and pick axes, to now i can't even do a push up, not even one. I can't even throw a ball without grabbing my wrist in discomfort. So unfortunately i have to undergo another surgery because im also developing a gangular cyst on my ulna, which is showing slight damage to the joint but thats not a big deal, they just need to loosen my wrist so i get range of motion back and create more space in my wrist so its not pinching my nerves. It has been a shitty last couple of years dealing with all these procedures and i was a general contractor, carpenter, landscaper, remodeling worker and i had to stop because i also tore my left ACL and that surgery didn't go well either and i lost my ability to lock my leg and engage/activate my quad or pull up my knee cap, so im going to have to under go another knee surgery as well.... Shit im just ranting but im not trying to complain i just felt like sharing a story lol. My bad lol
My goodness I’m so sad to hear you went through/are going through all that. I hope things get better soon.
Love your Booker jersey, Doc!
Nice jersey in the background there.
I had the scaphoid fracture with avascular necrosis. Brutal recovery, still hurts every day
I have fallen like this from riding an euc (like an ebike), i tell ya it really hurts and take aLOT of time to heal. Took like 4 months to even do pushups and lift weights like chest presses. Always wore a wrist guard since then
I would love some videos on ways to properly fall, or anything that players do incorrectly or instinctively from a doctors perspective.
I fractured my scaphoid playing basketball in 10th grade. I can say from experience that if you're going to injure your wrist, don't break the scaphoid! Doctors initially said that it would take 2 months to heal , but in the end it took 5. Then I needed 6 month of rehab.
Fractured my wrist 2 years ago downhill longboarding. Took 6 weeks to get out of the cast and into a soft brace, but I swear even with exercises that thing took like 4-5 months to get to feeling about 90%+ right. Even now when I do pushups my wrist stills gets a little sore.
Love the Suns jersey in the background
this is exactly how i broke my arm when i was 14 i tripped while playing basketball and i tried to break my fall but instead i broke both bones in my left forearm and it also went out of shape , it wasnt straight and that same night in the ER they had to straighten the arm out and then i had metal plates and screws placed it to make sure my bones were gonna regrow properly
Does the rotation of the hand increase the chance of the fraction, or would that be more of a tendon related injury?
Okay but can you do a giveaway for one of those jerseys🥺 lmao! Great video btw!
I’d take a wrist fracture over a tailbone fracture any day tho 🤣 I would’ve braced too
Dr. Brian explained in the Steph curry video that u cant fracture your tailbone. Or it's basically impossible. A tailbone injury would probably be short term. Now with LaMelo's broken wrist he's out for the season ):
Realistically, you'd have to be more worried about a head injury. We reflexively FOOSH to avoid head injuries.
@@jeccdog7584 i think he may be back. Not for a good minute, but i think he may play a fee games before the end of the season
@@peytongardner8830 they're already saying he's expected to miss the rest of the season, though. regular season ends in less than 2 months, it's really not a lot of time.
@@lepidoptery I think that a wrist fracture can definitely be fixed in a month or a bit more. But they might not want to risk it
Can you do a video on how to fall? For athletes and non athletes?
That Book Valley Jersey is FIRE
I’ve fractured my scaphoid before from FOOSH mechanism when playing basketball on a similar play. Had to have my thumb casted along with my forearm, so it’d be interesting to see how that could possibly impact LaMelo’s shooting hand if that’s the bone affected.
How bad was the pain initially ?
i had this injury twice in a year. it was awful. i had 7 casts and then after i re-broke the bone for the second time in a year i had surgery.... finally. so difficult to heal.
Had the same fracture in fall and was out for over 2 months when i got back the season stopped and we didnt have any games after i got back
Your voice is so cool
I’ve had a very similar injury one of the worst pains ever to me
Wish my internet worked as fast as Doc does lol.
I had same fracute and my doc didnt realized it on x ray so i keeped playing true pain for 3 months, when the season ends i went to doc again and i needed surgery and now after 2 years i had 2 surgerys and lifelong deformity, i cant do the pushups or smtg similar and my career is basically over
Can someone give me the long story short version of this video? I don’t have time to watch it right now. I just want to know what the best case scenario and worst case scenario for Lamelo is .. in terms of his injury. and also what the most likely injury he suffered was with the healing time frame . Would be much appreciated 🙏
I expect this video to reach a million views
How would you break fall properly without falling on your wrist?
I broke my wrist & had to go through 1 year recovery. Scaphoid Lunnade SL ligaments tear
Whewww.... injuries here and there...!!!
Had a fracture in my left hand needed 2 surgeries for it had a metal rod and a few screws. I really hope and pray his is no where near as bad
is it still a foosh is an object falls on your outstretched hand. same mechanism just backwards right? i broke my ulnar and radius like that
You should do a video with skateboarding injuries
