TomPickle Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Really feel bad for Burdi. Hard to see him having any kind of career after all these injuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's only 24. It's a knee injury this time, not another UCL injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea that's the only silver lining with this injury but it's a big one. Hopefully to see him back stronger both knee and elbow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a tendon on on the top and bottom of it (superior/inferior aspects), attaching it to the femur and tibia respectively. No ligaments on the patella, probably tore a patellar tendon.

The patella tendon is also referred to as the patella ligament. It connects the patella to the tibia. Both are bones so by definition it is a ligament. However, since the physiology of it is tendonous it is often referred to as a tendon. The primary structure that keeps the patella from moving too far laterally is the medial patella femoral ligament, so there are other ligaments connected to the patella as well. All the being said, I'm sure it was the patella tendon/ligament that was torn. Edited June 29, 2019 by ptatc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FOLLOW UP: I just read this on MLB.com: "Burdi should be ready to go by Spring Training 2020." Edited June 29, 2019 by Lillian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
