Giannis Antetokounmpo injury update: Bucks star to have MRI after hyperextending knee, per report
Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo left tonight's game against the Atlanta Hawks after suffering a serious looking knee injury and hyperextension. In this video we'll take a look at what happened, review the footage, and discuss the possible injuries to the NBA superstar.
The string of bad injuries continues tonight this postseason, with Jana having a very bad looking hyper extension on this play Welcome Back. I am Dr. Brian Souter and this is your number one source for learning about the unique medical side of the sporting world. Let's get straight to the drama where this happened. You guys know what to do if you want to help support this channel, so being honest as you are, going out here to try to stop this shot. We can see that he comes down after closing the pit. This focus on that left knee. Now in this angle we can catch a bit of hyperextension of that knee, but it's hard to appreciate the actual degree or the actual severity of hyperextension from this angle alone, but if you look back at it in slow motion. In more time here we can see that when he comes down the right side of that left knee is hyperextending from this side angle which we can really appreciate. severity of hyperextension. So again Ian is down to keep an eye on the left foot as he lands on a very straight leg. There are a few factors that talk about the cause of this injury, but you can see how severe the amount of hyper extension is as Hawks Claire is coming down, you can see first that there is a hit of the right foot. Yanis is the leg and what it does is cause that leg to basically stop in extension as it lands. This is the first thing that goes wrong here because normally you would land on a small section of a flex turbine to absorb that load and properly settle the seal into flexion, but here when Hawks players take their hits the tibia then it blocks forward which requires extension. When the giana descends, there is no ability to absorb that load and then as it comes further down,. There is even more force on the tibia which is putting it in even more significant hyperextension. So when we're talking about the severity of hyperextension if we draw a line straight through the femur, there is theoretically regular full extension of that lower leg. And so whatever is moving forward like this when the leg comes back up like this is going to be hyper or overextension. It is knee-high. And so when it comes forward like this, it's an extension of the knee. I'll be honest. This is a very significant amount of hyperextension and is also significant because it is forced piper extension due to the Hawks player coming down on his foot and additionally forcing it with an external load. Hyperextension Sometimes we see these injuries are like Bogdanovich when he was just running and slipped on his feet and had hyperextension without external force but here there is that external force on the leg and that also gives him extra stress Occurs beyond the tissues that the body is going to naturally collapse, one way to classify the severity here is only two degrees of hyperextension. It seems to be around 30 to 45 degrees, which is honestly a pretty significant amount. So just looking at it visually. It looks like a serious injury, but it is important to realize that hyper extension is not a specific injury. It is a position of the limb that predisposes various issues to injury, but it is a description of how the knee is positioned. It really doesn't hurt. In itself, but if we look at our bow digital anatomy tool here will point out some of the structures that are often injured by these types of injuries. The first will be the capsule of the knee joint. It is a synovial membrane that basically surrounds and protects the knee joint and sometimes lines it, it gets stretched whenever someone has hyperextension. Remember we are looking at this way if it were you being honest and hence are expanding again in this direction. And so it's going to stretch and strain the back of this capsule. So it's going to pull and you can tear at least one posterior capsule with this type of injury pattern, the second thing we wonder is if we can get rid of the capsule because you've got a serious bone injury or a bone injury. how can it be Whenever the tibia hyper extends upward the front of the tibia and the front of the femur are excessively pinned together, so a capsule injury is the minimal type of bone injury that we think is the best position for Joe Allen B. happened with. , but the big fear we see here with these hyper extensions is the underlying ligament injury in the PCL in the ACL, it's often number one. Severity in terms of degree of hyperextension, but also the name when inwards or outwards with that hyperextension here the PCL is running like the back of the knee and so if we rotate this tibia forward in hyperextension So you can imagine how it is stretching and stretching this PCL so that you have PCL tears, but it is also stretching and stretching on the ACL. To be completely honest you can have a variety of injuries with these knee hyperextensions that depend on a number of minor factors depending on how that knee was positioned, but the ACL and PCL are always a concern when We see a hyperextension, especially one as severe as you are to be honest. Yeah, that doesn't mean it's guaranteed that he has one. He can of course avoid it with just a capsular strain and bone injury, but we always have to think honestly about the ACL and the PCL as the MCL and the LCL when we have these hyper extensions. Injury pattern Hyperextension that can result in a wide variety of specific injuries. If we look once more at play now, I want you to imagine those fine structures so that the capsule surrounding the knee joint can be flexed whenever it touches that capsule. move especially backwards A possible capsule and injury being extended is that here the front of the tibia is going to be compressed in front of the femur leading to a possible bone injury or bone fusion within the knee joint and then definitively the ACL or PCL Depends on the severity of the tear and the force applied to those ligaments. Now in this specific approach it is hard to see how much of the varus or valgus actually means on one side. Movement, there was the knee and that is a big factor determining the risk of injury to the ACL in particular. we can't really see it in any What are you playing? It seems to me that from this point of view we may also see a kind of deformity in the front joint here and that's just because of how important this hyper extension is. So again a fairly significant visible degree of hyperextension. I'd be very surprised if he didn't get a serious injury here and again, even when we see something like a serious bone injury a capsule strained when we're talking Email play all the time can be enough to put you out for the playoffs. what really? Hope he avoids something serious here. But if he does it will really just be a matter of luck because it feels bad enough and there's nothing like fatigue or anything about the end season schedule that's going to play out like this when Kai Reed fell and He sprained his ankle when Trey Young stepped on the rabbit's foot. It's just bad luck. Yanis is . There is nothing about Fatigue Honest is conditioning the schedule that causes this injury. This is just the unfortunate side of playing the game. It seems this year is happening at such a bad time. So that's all for the video. As always, let me know about any questions or comments below. Well this gave me an update here. Depending on what the end results are, the youngest kids get hurt, but we'll see you later until next time.
