flavum Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Hahn on AM1000: Robert will start hitting in 7-10 days, be in Arizona to play, and hopefully at W-S by the end of the month. Hansen's forearm thing is "resolved". He's on a throwing program, and will throw his first bullpen in Arizona next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he really ends up being what we hope he will, the Sox could go from a good club to great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 that does sound like good news but man Roberts recovery for that seems so excessive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ligaments take 6-8 weeks to heal enough to begin work with them. They will want to be a little conservative with the thumb UCL as gripping is not functional without it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackout Friday Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 This is very encouraging, as others mentioned especially with Hansen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownsportsfan Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Well if Rodon and Hansen can recover and pitch well this year that's a really big boost. I'm knocking on wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as injuries go this is about a 10/10 for both repair and recovery success. As ptac said this timetable is normal and indicates no setbacks with infection or anything else. here's the surgery and rehab procedure: https://xnet.kp.org/socal_rehabspecialists/ptr_library/04WristandHand Region/26Hand-ThumbUlnarCollateralLigamentRepair.pdf There was never any reason at all to worry about his recovery. Hansen on the other hand...I was waiting for the inevitable "has scheduled tommy john" or "has scheduled exploratory surgery" or "has no timetable for his return". It's great news that he's feeling healthy enough without intervention to start throwing. Of course he's not out of the woods yet but this is a good first step. Same with Rodon's progress.

flavum Posted May 1, 2018 Author Share Posted May 1, 2018 (edited) One more thing Hahn said about Hansen is that this same thing happened with him in high school, so Hansen wasn’t worried about it himself. http://www.espn.com/espnradio/chicago/podcast/archive?id=13678310 Edited May 1, 2018 by flavum 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is an extremely conservative protocol. It really outdated. The most recent reference is from 2003. An athlete will be back earlier than that protocol allows post-surgical.

An athlete will be back earlier than that protocol allows post-surgical. Yea just wanted to post it as an example of how the repair usually goes. In general it's amazing how much progress has been made in sports medicine just since 2003. Not only with this injury but almost all of them. My own injuries would have been handled so much more conservatively even 10 years ago and I would have probably never gotten back to where I am now without the more aggressive timetable. After the patella tendon repairs up until about 2012 or so it was SOP to have a full leg cast for 6-8 weeks! I was using the walker at 1 week (despite two torn tendons), was walking in the braces no walker at 2 weeks (amazed my surgeon at the two week followup) and was using the rowing machine and cycling at weeks 4-8. It's a great time be alive if you get hurt playing sports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was no wonder it was difficult to return to sports after that injury. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lip Man 1 Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 We have to see what happens now with Hansen after he's thrown a few times. As mentioned he's not out of the woods yet. Remember Rodon last year had issues, came back, had issues again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donaldo Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 About a week ago I read that Hansen was "nowhere near ready" to start throwing. Now all of a sudden his arm issues are mysteriously "resolved," and he's going to start throwing? IDK what to make of this. I'm hopeful, but not confident.

caulfield12 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Some Icy-Hot rubbed on it...good to go. Unfortunately, that's about the extent of the treatment Sandy Koufax had available to him back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
