WPB Dawg Fan Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 I think this is the smart route!!! Browns' Quinn to have surgery 46 minutes ago CLEVELAND (AP) — Cleveland Browns quarterback Brady Quinn will undergo surgery on his right index finger, a procedure that will require up to 10 weeks of recovery time. Quinn, who has been weighing his options for the past week, will have the operation in Alabama on Wednesday. He broke the tip of his finger and sustained tendon damage on his throwing hand in a Nov. 17 game against Buffalo. He played the next week against Houston and made his injury worse. Doctors will insert a pin into Quinn's finger to stabilize the bone and tendon. Quinn started three games for the Browns, who also lost quarterback Derek Anderson to a season-ending knee injury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pl4tinum Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 If he gets a staph infection the Browns should seriously switch hospitals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OconRecon Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Hmm. Must be more here that we don't know as a great majority of these are treated conservatively and non-surgically. Either: 1. Non-union healing is suspected 2. Displacement has occurred 3. He's being treated very aggressively due to his occupation. I hope the pin and incision doesn't significantly alter the dense nerve map and sensation at the tip of the finger. It shouldn't. I just wish it wasn't his spin finger. Any set back in the healing over the next 10 weeks could cause us to hold on to DA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manbearpig Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 At least he isn't having the operation done in Cleveland!! That would really worry me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OconRecon Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Doc, I suspect it's number 3. Yep, I agree. If it were you or me, 2 sticks and some tape would do just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samoth Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 He won't get an infection. He's getting treated by Dr. James Andrews, who is notoriously respected throughout the sports industry. He won't set foot in the Cleveland Clinic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiperBowl Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 The best thing about this is he is getting it done out of state and not at the Cleveland Staph Infection Clinic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrownIndian Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 The best thing about this is he is getting it done out of state and not at the Cleveland Staph Infection Clinic! - Are you implying that by going out of state we can spread the staph infection to them too ?

OconRecon Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Wouldn't you shit if they were sending him to Oregon for the procedure? Yep! Andrews is tops in the field. He has a career of orthopedic innovation. It would be a total deviation from the norm if Quinn doesn't come back very smoothly. Without complication, I'd bet Quinn is back throwing again by the end of January or at least first part of February. The 10 week time frame seems ultra conservative to me.
