Get well soon AJ, stay safe rest of squad

[Khan4Cats]

This will make the year more of a test but a chance for Born to shine, get minutes for everyone else to see what we have.

[Blue42]

Tough break for AJ and the Panthers.

Hope everything goes as well as possible and he comes back stronger than ever. I'm sure it's killing him not playing.

Bear down fellas and come out swinging in conference. Stories are there to be written. Don't give up on anything.

[DownGoesKansas]

AJ will have surgery on his other hip tomorrow. Really hope he comes back 100%. (Was he scheduled to have surgery on both, I dont recall)

[UNI92]

I haven't heard that. Hope he comes back 100% healthy! I'd love to see what this team was capable of with him leading the charge next season!

My brother heard from a reliable source about a surgery on his other hip, but when I asked around here if anybody has heard the same I heard nothing. From what he was told, it was needed at some point regardless, so they wanted to do it while he was already out. Not sure when they actually decided it was necessary and going to happen, I just heard it a few days ago.

Yea, sounds like it is fairly standard for these hip injuries.

I've never heard of someone in their 20s needing hip surgery. Does anyone know more about what the actual complication is that he's surgically repairing?

Jordan Bohannon? Naz Long?

Jordan Bohannon? Naz Long?

Or a more famous and (hopefully) worse situation - Bo Jackson.

Bo had a different injury to his hip. He tore the vessels that fed his femoral head.

A coworker of mine, who is an athletic trainer, has told me that when small children sit on their shins with their feet pointed outward impacts the hips and has contributed to teens and 20 somethings requiring surgery. She has told me when kids sit on their shins they should point their toes backwards and not outwards.

"W" style! I constantly remind my kids not to do that.

And, pointing your feet straight back provides an easy, indirect stretch to your shin muscles. I do it regularly.

Hence me hoping that Bo’s was worse than whatever AJ’s specific situation is. I remember Bo having circulation issues, and walking with a pronounced limp.
